This is not your average graduate program

#1 Try different roles
and business areas.

Get a taste of what 
it’s really like to work
across engineering, business,
operations, and more –
before you decide which
path fits you best. 

#2 A launchpad
to your future role. 

Think of it as a hands-on,
10-month onboarding experience.
You’ll learn the business,
meet the people, and build the skills
you need if you wish to confidently step
into a full-time position at Alfa Laval
when the program ends. 

#3 Explore beyond
your desk.

During the program, you’ll travel
to different Alfa Laval sites
across the U.S. – and sometimes
abroad – to experience how our
teams collaborate in real life.  

#4 Support
all the way.

From mentors and managers
to fellow trainees, you’ll have
people who guide you,
share what they’ve learned,
and help you grow.  

#1 The DJ
of separation.

Spins fast, runs at
thousands of RPMs
and always hits 
the right groove.

#2 Tuned
to every session.

Feed changes are
welcome. Decanters
adapt to the gig, on
beat, on key,
every time.

#3 They play best.
Under pressure.

Thick sludge, fine particles, 
shifting volumes. Decanters
stay composed. Always on
cue, keeping the flow tight.

#4 No spotlight
needed.

They work behind the
scenes, steady and smooth.
A simple mindset of knowing
the show must go on.
