What’s in it for us?

Telenor is expanding in the global telecoms market. We know that in order to succeed we need to attract talented people. Global trainees are vital in the transfer of local business knowledge and expertise between our operating countries. The trainees act as “global ambassadors” in the local companies. We know this creates synergy effects across the entire Telenor Group. We will learn as much from your experience as you will from ours. You will also be excellent ambassadors towards new potential Telenor employees through your friends and family networks.
