Trainee@CHG Testimonials

"Joining CHG to kickstart my career was definitely the right decision for me to understand business as a whole as my first six months at CHG has provided me with an abundance of learning opportunities. Being part of the finance department at CHG has furthered my development in various financial instruments, analysis techniques, and industry-specific knowledge. I’ve had the chance to collaborate with a diverse and skilled team, this not only has enhanced my technical skills but has also provided me with valuable insights and the ability to learn roles even outside of finance. CHG has excelled my career in all aspects by allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world financial scenarios.

Having been surrounded by an experienced team constantly has given me the opportunities needed to learn my role in finance and what I pursue to achieve in the future. CHG was the right choice and has reassured me that finance is the career I want to pursue."

“With the trainee program, CHG-MERIDIAN offered me the complete package  and was the ideal start to my professional sales career. It gave me a comprehensive insight into the company's sales processes and internal structures and specifically combined the teaching of theoretical knowledge with its practical implementation. The close support and individual encouragement from the team and my mentors helped me to develop my sales skills in a targeted manner and to take on responsibility in projects at an early stage. The complexity of the business areas and solutions on offer was particularly challenging for me. However, I used this as motivation to continuously deal with the topics and thus constantly expand my knowledge. 
A particular highlight was my time at our location in Egham, UK, where I was able to gain valuable insights into its strategic direction and strengthen my intercultural skills at the same time. This experience significantly increased my understanding of the global requirements in sales and prepared me for future international challenges."

"After graduating from university last summer my goal was always to work in the finance industry, and CHG-MERIDIAN seemed like a really forward-thinking company in an industry that at times doesn’t always seem to be this way, while still being result driven. This can be seen in various aspects, such as company culture, appreciating work-life balance, and its future plans. The Trainee@CHG program was also perfect for me as it allows me to rotate departments, which gives me real world experience to help inform what area I would like to work in as a career. My highlights so far have included opportunities to travel, learning the different roles and what each entails, and getting to know the people I work alongside, both in the UK and from around Europe. Overall, CHG, its values, and what it offers to me as a young person just starting out in this industry aligned perfectly with the direction I want my career to go in."

"When I was looking to start my professional career, I always had a clear goal in my mind and heart, work in SALES. It has been quite a challenge due to the complexity and the target customers we are searching for. 
One of the first reasons I decided to enter the trainee program at CHG-MERIDIAN was, and still is, be part of the financial industry, also having the possibility to work in a business model that has a sustainable growth in time and having technology and digitalization without leaving behind our planet. My main challenge was knowing the business basics and operative processes that will give me a solid foundation to build my portfolio. All of this was put into practice during my time on the program. 
The main highlights that I have experienced are working with colleagues all around the world. Also having the opportunity to build a network in a different environment rather than the typical workplace, like Cancún."

“I joined CHG in 2020 through the Sales Trainee Program. From day one, I was impressed by the strong team spirit across colleagues. Learning from mentors and regional teams helped me understand different sales styles and shape my own. CHG is a great employer with a strong business model and opportunities for personal and professional growth, and I’m glad to be part of CHG’s growth journey.”

"I have been fortunate to start as a Trainee in Norway and later transition to a role in Australia. These experiences have provided me with an outstanding learning environment and a solid foundation to grow my career. CHG-MERIDIAN is deeply committed to empowering employees with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my journey."
