What you are going to do

Over the course of this two-year traineeship, you’ll complete three challenging assignments within various IT teams at NN.

Your first assignment will be carefully selected for you, while you’ll take the lead in shaping the second and third assignments based on your learning goals and ambitions.

You’ll work in IT departments across different business units, such as the bank or our life and non-life insurance entities. You may also join teams at our headquarters or international IT hubs in cities like Madrid or Prague.

Together with trainees from other tracks, you’ll participate in the Future Leaders Programme, which focuses on personal leadership. You’ll also receive technical training from senior leaders and experts on topics such as CI/CD, APIs, NN architecture, security, cloud, and data & AI. Depending on your assignment, you’ll become a member of one of our guilds, such as the Engineering Guild or the Data Science Guild. These communities span across business units and foster knowledge sharing and innovation. The network and expertise you build during your traineeship will prepare you for a future tech leadership role at NN.
