Quote from current trainee Liloz Ali:
“As an intern laboratory at Royal Greenland varies between busy and more relaxed days. As an intern, you work with various microbiological analyses and tasks in a positive working environment, where you are warmly welcomed and quickly feel like part of the team.
I also had the opportunity to visit one of Royal Greenland’s factories in Sisimiut, which gave me valuable insight into the company.
Living in Nuuk has also been something truly special. The nature and culture make everyday life an experience in itself.
All in all, it has been a unique opportunity to grow professionally, experience Greenland, and become part of a large international company.”
