Immerse yourself in fashion and lifestyle
Join other ambitious recent graduates on one of five specialized tracks and rotate between placements across the global business. You’ll kick off with an in-depth introduction to H&M Group, before heading into the program. Young talent and new perspectives are helping to shape the future of H&M Group, and we want you to keep growing with us after the program.
Change the game alongside your friends
During your trainee program you will work on live projects with your new team, which gives you the chance to change the game and be a part of forming new, better ways of working. As a trainee you can explore international placements, too. You’ll develop alongside your trainee cohort, so that you can learn from each other and build some lifelong friendships. Our support system will back you up all the way, with guidance from your mentor and previous trainees.
Bring your big ideas to life
Maybe you have a few years of work experience, or you’ve recently graduated in Engineering, Business, Economics, Data Analytics or Fashion Design. As a trainee, you can bring your experiences, your skills, and your big ideas to life on a global stage.
Work at the heart of the business
The trainee year will start at our Head Office in Stockholm, Sweden. We’ll help you relocate and get settled in your new hometown. You don’t need to speak Swedish to apply, either. As you set off across the globe on international placements, you’ll combine learning with a chance to see the world. All you need to bring is your vision for a re-shaped, more sustainable fashion industry.
Accelerate your future
Applications open in November and the trainee program will start in August of the following year. Trainees are paid a market-based, monthly salary. If you’ve got what it takes, you will be invited to online assessments in January, and a virtual assessment day in February. Final interviews will be held in beginning of March.
Do you want to expand your horizons? As a trainee at H&M Group you will grow and find your passion. Another great thing about it? You will make friends for life.
Re-shape the future by harnessing the power of smart tech and data. As a Data analytics trainee, you’ll spend one year honing your data skills and your growth mindset. In your rotations around the business, you will get to grips with data handling, advanced statistics, and business intelligence. You will be mentored by your team to become a sophisticated problem solver that can identify business needs and develop solutions – but you’ll also build your own set of expertise, ready for a bright future.
Let’s finetune product development together. As an Engineering trainee, you’ll pick up the essential skills for a stellar career. That includes coding, product development, perfecting software building blocks and working in an agile environment. You’ll learn to communicate complex, technical concepts in a way that everyone can understand. All the while, you will be learning from senior engineers and making your own mark on live projects. Keep up the curious and ambitious mindset and you’ll get to work on products that will be used by millions of people.
Design products that empower people to express themselves. As a Fashion design trainee, you’ll join a new era of designers that are democratizing fashion. With your creativity and commercial mindset, you’ll create products that customers will fall in love with. As you understand end-to-end product creation and learn from experienced colleagues, you’ll be free to take inspiration from your own unique perspective, too. Bring the bold ideas, and we’ll help you launch an exceptional career.
Join us to build an insightful product offer that customers will love. As a Customer offer trainee, you can lean into your natural salesmanship and commercial drive. On your rotations, you’ll get to grips with stores, e-commerce, buying and commercial planning, to create a perfectly targeted customer offer. Alongside your fellow trainees, you’ll become skilled in interpreting data to identify business needs and generating insights. So bring your love for fashion and a commercial, analytical approach and together we’ll build the best customer offer.

Let’s create meaningful growth in fashion. Retail expansion trainees specialise in the retail environment: from commercial optimization to rolling out global projects, you’ll be helping us add stores in new and existing markets and optimize our current store portfolio with inspiring design and innovative solutions to offer the next level customer experience. You’ll hone your skills in financial analysis and problem solving and you’ll get to know project management and customer analysis, too. With resilience and passion, you’ll also build an expansive career.
Meet some of our previous trainee and get a feeling of what it is like being a trainee at H&M Group
We have one trainee program that lets you explore the H&M Group business and build your network. Before you start the program, you will choose one specialization track from the five tracks that we offer. Trainees can specialize in either data analysis, product development, fashion design, customer offer, or retail expansion. On your chosen track, you’ll spend the year finding your groove and learning the essential skills for your career. Your rotations and the business functions that you gain experience in, will depend on the track that you choose. But whichever you specialize in, the overall trainee experience will be the same for the whole cohort.
As a trainee, you can choose to specialize in:
• BI, Data & Analytics track
• Engineering and Product Development track
• Fashion Design track
• Customer Offer track
• Retail Expansion track
On every trainee track, you’ll be mentored by senior members of the team, work on live business projects, and have the space and encouragement to share your ideas.
The program runs for a year, starting at the end of August. You’ll kick off with an in-depth introduction to H&M Group, before you head into the first rotation of your specialized track.
