About you

We are looking for passionate, entrepreneurial and innovative graduates to help us create the future of Beauty. You will forge your own career path, going beyond what you thought was possible by reacting fast and being able to hit the ground running. You will need to have leadership skills and be able to take direction as well. All backgrounds and disciplines are welcome.

You might be sporty, you might not. You can be an introvert or an extrovert. A beauty junkie, a data genius, or a crazy scientist. The point is, whoever you are, we want to hear from you. Our teams are always there to help, celebrate and cheer one another! That’s what makes the glue of L’Oréal: the people. And that is something we’re proud of!

Freedom to go beyond

Some of our previous graduates are now launching new brands, others are spearheading process improvement projects and then there are those who are now high-flying professionals working across the world! One thing they all have in common is the profound impact made on our company. Because of this, we take great pride in our Management Trainees and as such, invest heavily in their training, support, and development.
