Two-year shipping trainee program
On-the-job training and industry-knowledge
Clipper frequently offers a high-profile, two-year shipping trainee program at our Copenhagen office.

The program combines on-the-job training together with the education from the Danish Shipping Academy. Classes include maritime law, maritime economics, ship knowledge, cultural awareness, negotiation, and communication.
Graduate Diploma in Business Administration
During the trainee program, you may choose to enroll in the Graduate Diploma Program in Business Administration (HD 1. part) at Copenhagen Business School. This program gives a general introduction to central business-related and financial topics.

Laura Risum, Intern at Clipper
“I think, people are super nice and welcoming at Clipper. It is really nice to work in a ‘small’ office, as you get to meet everyone in the organization, and with that a better understanding of other departments. You get included in everything from the beginning, and learning experiences are highly prioritized. For an example, during our first weeks of the internship, we went to see a ship and met the crew onboard.
It is also cool, that the terms we learn about, during the bachelor, are being executed throughout the work we do at Clipper. That approach enhances my learning, as it is much easier, to understand in practice instead of just reading about it.
I would definitely recommend Clipper to future interns. It is a great workplace, that focuses on work environment, social initiatives, learning, and creating understanding throughout several departments. They provide the opportunity, to try different things and find out what you feel most comfortable with. Meanwhile, you will get to work with a lot of amazing colleagues that are always ready to help.”
