The Young Professionals Program is an efficient way of introducing young talents to the world of management consulting. It is a 1-year trainee program where you will work with, and be mentored by, Opticos consultants on client projects. A senior colleague will be your development coach to ensure your personal and professional growth. As a trainee, you will have the opportunity to travel to our three offices in Sweden for our program courses, special events, and social activities. This helps you get to know other consultants – and have some fun along the way!

The next program start is planned for August 2021. We recruit Young Professionals to our offices in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. One- or two-year Master’s Degree and fluent Swedish and English is required.
