What is the trainee program?

The program is designed for young potentials who recently graduated or only have a short working experience and have a food technology background.

The program takes about 2 years, where you will learn & develop various skills at a fast rate. You will work on various assignments on the different products in the portfolio, expanding your knowledge fast.

You remain based in your Kladno factory (no relocation needed), but you will be traveling to other sites (in line with your projects). You can plan your travels yourselves and travel expenses are covered.

In essence, this is a unique opportunity to learn at a fast pace the technological aspects of (sweet) bakery and develop yourself, whilst traveling in Europe and exploring the LLBG network
