\u2026In\nnorthern England, more precisely in a small town called Darlington. My name is Caroline\nLilja,  I\u2019m a Global Trainee within Sourcing,\nand I moved here a week ago to start my second rotation in the UK Sourcing\nteam. Very exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last\nfew weeks have been a lot about meeting new people and traveling. I have been\nin Germany for our second Training Module and as mentioned, I just moved to the\nUK for my second rotation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training Module in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might know, between each rotation, we have a training week in one of Husqvarna Group\u2019s main sites. This time we got to visit Ulm, Gardena\u2019s headquarter. The module typically consists of a lot of interesting presentations from different areas within the company performed by senior managers, former trainees and other amazing colleagues. The week in Ulm also offered some practical exercises like Lego simulation, project management training and, last but not least, nice food and great company! The top two things during the week was according to me, the LEGO simulation and the cooking event. The LEGO simulation is a fun activity about continues improvements and we as a group did really well! It\u2019s so much fun to work with bright and driven people! We also got the opportunity to challenge our ability to cooperate when we, one night, attended a cooking class. We were supposed to cook a three-course dinner for 15 people\u2026 But honestly speaking, I think the real chef<\/em> cooked all the food and we just messed around in the kitchen ;). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second rotation in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the week in Ulm, I did a quick touch down in Sweden to finish up some work and then I went straight to the UK for my second rotation. In the UK we make, according to me, our coolest product. The robotic lawnmower! And wow! The UK office have really welcomed me and from day 1, I\u2019ve felt like I\u2019m a part of the team. Of course, it is a bit overwhelming to move to a new country, leaving the safe ground in Sweden to explore something new. But that really triggers me, and I think it\u2019s good to step outside your comfort zone from time to time to experience new sides of yourself. Sometimes you just have to throw yourself into the unknown and see what happens. To wrap up my first week in the UK, I went out for a typical British pub crawl with my fantastic colleagues from the office, see picture below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional skills and personal development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me the\ntrainee program is not just a great opportunity to develop my professional\nskills, I also get the possibility to travel around the world to learn from\ndifferent cultures and to meet great new friends! This program gives me an\nopportunity to grow as a person and to step outside my comfort zone. Husqvarna Group\nis a company that understands how important it is for people to grow, not just\nprofessionally but as an individual. I\u2019m so glad that I got this amazing\nopportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next\ntime, take care :)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regards, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
