Choose your career

The Ørsted Graduate Program is tailored to suit your specific background and interests. The three tracks below lead to in-depth experience within your professional field, and they all include two or three rotations in different departments.

The program


The Ørsted Graduate Program is a two-year journey divided into three main tracks: 

Career Accelerator
Career Accelerator is the interaction you have with your senior career mentor and fellow graduates. Throughout the program, you’ll participate in development sessions and virtual action learning to support your on-the-job learning. A mentor will guide, encourage, and challenge you to make the most of your talent. You’ll also build a widespread network of professional peers to support your future career. 

Business Experience
The backbone of your learning and development where you’ll be responsible for your own projects and apply your expertise to influence decisions. You’ll handle international project work, build a cross-functional network, and take real responsibility as you’ll get engaged in our day-to-day business decisions. Many of our graduates will complete one of their business rotations in another country. 

Innovation Lab 
Innovation has made Ørsted a global leader in renewable energy, and we’re constantly looking for ideas that’ll help us improve everything from processes to technology. As part of the Innovation lab track, we’ve partnered with Singularity University Nordic to give you insight into this area. SingularityU Nordic is responsible for leading your education in innovation, and you’ll get to explore exponential thinking and learn how to master high-speed innovation. You’ll immerse yourself in how to apply exponential technologies to create big ideas with the potential to have an impact on the future. We don’t know for sure what the future will bring, but we do know that we want to create a world that runs entirely on green energy, and that we’ll need bright and innovative minds to get us there.
