Voice of our Employee

“It has been - and still is - a huge experience for me to be a part of the JYSK Graduate program. As an IT Graduate, you get to learn both about the chosen IT solution, but also about relevant business processes by getting around different parts of the organisation. JYSK has an ambitious growth strategy where IT has a crucial role. This leads to significant IT investments and many exciting projects. In JYSK, you get quickly involved in many of these projects on equal terms as everyone else and despite the differences in experiences you are treated with the same respect. As a Graduate, you will quickly get your own responsibilities and will get the opportunity to work on solving real challenges in the organisation. So if you are up for a challenge, have a high drive and are ready to take on a role with a steep learning curve - JYSK is the right choice.”

Voice of our employee

"As a Business Development Graduate, you will drive high-profile projects that shapes the future of JYSK and empower you to grow, not only professionally, but also on a personal level. The first assignment is defined from day one and the specific program is designed for you, building on your core competencies and giving you the insights and experiences to strengthen and continuously develop. Working in Business Development I am exposed to various parts of the business and encounter many exciting challenges involving different stakeholders in JYSK. Through sparring with my team and across functions I improve and build a unique toolbox of skills within problem-solving, management, planning and organisational understanding. What I really enjoy at JYSK is the open and cooperative culture - you are treated with mutual respect and work with committed, goal-oriented and loyal colleagues. JYSK is where learning, ambition and possibilities grow."
