<\/a>If you accidently have stumbled across this blog, welcome! If you actually intended to visit this blog, even more welcome! If you are a bot attempting to spam the comment field, not so welcome.<\/p>\nSince this is my blog-debut I will, in coherence with decent manners, introduce myself. As the header above may reveal, my name is Marcus Hedman. I am originally from Ume\u00e5 in the north of Sweden. Not as north as they come, but still pretty cold. I began my bachelor studies at BI Norwegian School of Management (Handels\u00f8yskolen BI) in Oslo where I studied international marketing for 3 years including one full year at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. I then fulfilled a M.Sc. in what now is called International Management. This included one year in Oslo and one year with more economical and financial studies at ESCP-Europe in Paris, France.<\/p>\n
This little cocktail led my to this \u2013 Vattenfall\u2019s international trainee program, which I now am half way of completing. Actually feels a bit sad to say. The latter part, that is.<\/p>\n
My first six month has been rather hectic, full of information and so much fun. My colleague Johanna H\u00e4\u00e4gg has already described our first seminar weeks, so I will spare you the details and give you the short version:<\/p>\n
1st week: Stockholm, \u00c4lvkarleby and Forsmark with visits to hydro- and nuclear plants.
\n2nd week: Berlin, L\u00fcbbenau and Cottbus with visits to a CCS plant (carbon capture and storage) and a lignite mine.
\n3rd week: Warsaw with a visit to a CHP plant (combined heat and power).<\/p>\n
Besides the producing part of the value chain, we have also undergone management training and teambuilding, visited other offices, visited external companies, etcetera etcetera. On top of this I have had the opportunity to get to know my fellow trainee colleagues from Finalnd, Poland, Germany, Holland and Ireland.<\/p>\n
Aside from the trainee program I am hired as a business analyst at \u201cproduct and pricing\u201d within sales. Me and my colleagues here are involved in product development, product management and pricing. Right up my alley.<\/p>\n
I have also done an \u201cassignment\u201d connected to the trainee program where I spent two months in Asset Optimisation and Trading, a great opportunity to get to know the organization.<\/p>\n
I could go on for hours, but I will spare you guys and stop here for a while. But please let me know what you would like to know about Vattenfall, the trainee program, or just life in general.<\/p>\n
I once heard that a blog is as good as its update frequency. Not really, just made that up. But nevertheless, I will try to keep a good flow of information coming your way.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned.
