Management trainee positions are available in a wide range of roles and industries. The right candidate can often choose from positions in accountancy, financial services, sales, marketing, communications or roles focusing on management disciplines. University degrees may not be required but they will often be strong assets. The ability to learn, self-motivate and make quantifiable progress in a role is, however, generally of greater value
Some roles, depending on the industry, may require the candidate either to have existing relevant qualifications or demonstrate a strong interest in progressing towards those qualifications. Other roles are ideally-suited to the candidate who is already in the act of gaining the required qualification
In many cases, openings in this area offer outstanding opportunities for young graduates to work within a large organisation, with great potential to travel the world and experience new cultures, as well as great challenges. Remuneration packages for a management trainee can vary considerably, depending on the role and the industry, but candidates can typically expect starting salaries starting at £15,000 and going up to around £30,000.
