Sophie, Vestas Graduate
My role
My name is Sophie and I recently started my
first rotation in Group Marketing & Customer
Insight located in Århus, Denmark where I
am involved in shaping and implementing
Vestas' Brand & Reputation strategy.
Vestas operates in a fast-paced and complex
business environment. The recent shift from
seller's to buyer's market as well as the
increasingly interconnected nature of Vestas'
stakeholders, calls for the need of a clear,
powerful and aligned message and identity.
It is in that sense that Brand & Reputation
management is key in reaching our Triple15
aspirations and more widely, in taking Vestas
to new levels of success!
My Career path
I am part of the first Graduate Team to be
on a fixed-track program. What that means
is that I know what and where my next two
rotations will be, as they fit into an individual
professional development scheme. My next
rotation will be in Sales in Portland, USA,
and my third rotation will be in Government
Relations in Copenhagen, Denmark. The
rationale behind integrating Marketing, Sales
and Government Relations in my track is
to gain different insights and perspectives
on the drivers and players which constitute
Vestas' business. This “wide angle” on the
business as well as the international nature
of the Graduate Program is what makes the
Graduate Program so attractive to me.
My Vestas
I joined Vestas because – like many others of
the “Y generation” – I wanted to contribute
to something purposeful and not just work
for a paycheck. It is primordial for me to
believe in the importance of my work, in
the difference that it makes. Vestas' know
how and the values for which it stands seems
to me like the perfect platform to develop
myself professionally in accordance with my
convictions.
My network
One of the greatest features of the Graduate
Program is the global network that it enables
you to create within the company. This
international network is not only composed
of the diverse identity of the Graduate Team
you belong to, but also of the co-workers,
managers and partners that you get to work
and interact with throughout your rotations.
This strong and global network is both an
asset for you, and for Vestas in the long run!
Gabriele, Vestas Graduate
My role
My name is Gabriele and is from Italy. I joined
the Graduate Programme in September 2009
as a Blades Production Engineer in Lem,
Denmark. My second rotation is in Madrid in
the Operations and Service Department.
My career path
I have a master's degree in Aeronautical
Engineering, so as you can imagine, I like
to understand and master the technical side
of things. Being exposed everyday in the
front lines, living constantly under pressure,
dealing with new challenges and striving to
give my best at every moment, this is what I
am looking for. The Graduate Programme is
a great opportunity, since you can explore the
company from different angles, you can work
in different countries and functions, working
with both technical and managerial tasks.
My Vestas
Vestas is an incredible company. It's a fast
growing company, so the opportunities are
there to be picked up if you're ambitious and
eager to take on new challenges. Why the
Graduate Programme? Peter Drucker, the man
who invented management, used to say that
the best way to predict the future is to create
it. The Graduate Programme is probably a
good example of this philosophy. It's a once
in a lifetime possibility, why not go for it?
My network
Join Vestas and you'll realize that the world
is small after all. Working with colleagues
from all around the world is the rule. To grow
your network means also to develop yourself,
your cultural awareness and your knowledge.
Training camps, which occur twice a year
while in the graduate programme, are
also a great chance to travel and network.
They are very intense but they provide the
opportunity for networking in a more relaxed
atmosphere.
