This is an exciting opportunity to train, learn and work in a dynamic, multinational Group with diverse and rising global businesses, and operations in 40 countries on 5 continents.
The Program

Selected candidates will be hired by a specific business division or corporate function of Noble, with the purpose of being trained and developed into the next generation of Noble professionals, managers and leaders.

Following an initial induction in our Hong Kong head office, trainees will then join the business division or corporate function that hired them, in the country where they were hired. Trainees may also rotate in other locations or with other divisions, as required by the division or function into which they are hired.

Trainees are expected to be geographically mobile, show commitment to the division or function they joined and ask as many questions as necessary to learn and understand the business processes and terminology.

During the program, trainees are assigned a ‘Buddy’ who will provide advice and guidance, and assist with information about Noble. 'Buddies' are alumni of previous trainee programs, and the first network of Noble contacts that trainees will develop after starting the program.
