Are you ready to launch your shipping career?

Join NORDEN's two-year Trainee Programme and combine hands-on experience with an education at the Danish Shipping Academy. You will find yourself in a collaborative, inclusive environment. And you will not be doing it alone—this programme welcomes several Trainees across different offices.

Start building your future in global trade and the foundation for a long-term career at NORDEN in August 2025.

Your career starts here
Begin a career where your voice matters, and your growth is a priority. At NORDEN, we are building the next generation of shipping professionals, and this could be your opportunity to contribute.

And do not worry if you are new to shipping—we will guide you every step of the way.

The Traineeship is a paid, full-time programme tailored to pave the way for your career. With a strong track record of supporting Trainees, Interns and Graduates worldwide, we are committed to giving you a professional, engaging and growth-focused experience.

As part of the two-year programme, you will enroll in the Danish Shipping Education and attend four one-week modules in Denmark supplemented by occasional webinars. During your visits in Denmark, you will also spend a week at our office in Copenhagen where you will be provided with a great opportunity to connect and learn together with other Trainees from NORDEN's various offices.

NORDEN covers all educational and course-related expenses, including all travel expenses.

Why this could be something for you

  1. Shape your career: Spend two years in one of the following departments—Operations or Chartering—where you will gain deep knowledge while keeping your future opportunities open.
  2. Take part in a development-focused programme: You will have a dedicated manager responsible for your development and well-being, along with a mentor who will follow and support you. Equally important, when in Copenhagen, buddies are planning social activities for you and your fellow Trainees, ensuring that you have fun in the office and out of office.
  3. Build your network: Connect with other Trainees and experienced colleagues to grow an international professional and social network.
  4. Get the Danish Shipping Education diploma: Through webinars and four physical modules you will engage in courses like Maritime Economics, Sustainable Energy and Global Logistics.
  5. Be part of something bigger: Work in a collaborative, global and inclusive environment where your ideas and aspirations are valued.

At NORDEN, you will become an integral part of a culture that our current Trainee, Vivian De Mitry, describes as: "The friendly environment, frequent events, and the way people enjoy working here show how much NORDEN cares about its employees. All these great aspects make you happy to be part of it."

Your qualifications
We are committed to equipping you with everything you need to thrive and make a meaningful impact. Here is what we are looking for when you apply:

  1. You hold a high school diploma – could be from anywhere in the world.
  2. You are eligible to work in Dubai.
  3. You hold fluent English skills.
  4. You are curious and want to grow and learn.

The recruitment process
The recruitment process is simple and designed to make sure of a match both for you and us. It includes an interview with a Head of Department and our Talent Acquisition Partner. Beforehand, you will be invited to complete a personality and cognitive assessment, which we will dive into during the interview to get to know you better.

We value diversity and support diverse backgrounds and perspectives, which is why we encourage everyone who is qualified to apply. Apply now by uploading your CV, cover letter describing your motivation for applying and your high school diploma no later than 23 March 2025.

Applications are reviewed continuously but you can expect to hear back by 31 March 2025. We look forward to learning more about you and your aspirations.
