Students

Phase1 trainee program

Phase1 is Orion Group’s trainee programme for university students that takes place every summer

Orion’s Phase1 summer trainee programme offers students in the fields of natural sciences, pharmacy, technology and economics the opportunity to showcase their talent in an international pharmaceutical company. The application period for the programme is in January.

In addition to the Phase1 programme, there are trainees working in different units throughout the year. In the spring, in particular, we offer the opportunity for students to complete work-based learning periods for their vocational qualifications. These are coordinated in cooperation with several vocational schools in our various locations. In addition to these forms of traineeships, we employ a large number of summer workers, apprentices, work experience students and other trainees every year.

Student visits and recruitment events

We organise student visits to Orion every year. Please contact us at least two months in advance of a potential visit, so there is more chance of us being able to organise the visit.

At the fairs at which Orion is represented, specialists from various departments, depending on the target group of the event, are present to discuss their work in the relevant field within the Orion Group. Representatives from HR also attend the events to answer general questions related to working at Orion.
