Isn’t it time you saw the world differently?

At Skanska, we understand that there’s nothing more natural than wanting to experience the most we can in life. That’s why we encouraged Nick, one of our graduates, to make the most of his talent on our global leadership programme, Skanska Stretch. He seized the opportunity, and a placement in Sweden. There he spent time researching a greener solution for BoKlok, our housebuilding partnership with IKEA. It was more than a personally and professionally enriching experience. His recommendations are now helping to shape BoKlok’s future direction and Nick is looking forward to creating more new opportunities back at home.

Just imagine what you could do when you begin your career with Skanska.
