Applications are now open for HiQ’s trainee programme, HiQ Leap

In August 2026, HiQ Leap kicks off – a trainee programme for newly graduated and junior talents in technology and software development. The programme is a modern take on traditional trainee schemes, offering participants a fast and hands-on entry into professional life. The ambition is to provide real, practical experience from day one, while also fostering a strong sense of community through social activities in true HiQ spirit.

A smooth transition from studies to working life

Unlike many traditional trainee programmes that focus primarily on internal training, participants in HiQ Leap start directly with real assignments or projects that reflect real customer work. From day two, candidates work in teams at client sites or take part in internal projects with a focus on Java and C++, all with the aim of providing real work-life experience.

Over the course of the ten-week programme, participants also receive support through courses and certifications tailored to individual needs. This is complemented by social activities such as dinners, internal events and evening sessions, creating an inspiring and cohesive experience.

Who can apply?

HiQ is looking for candidates who:

• have an educational background in fields such as computer science, engineering physics, systems science or mechatronics
• are students, recent graduates, or have up to one year of work experience
• are motivated to work hands-on and want to develop in a team-oriented environment

Merits that can strengthen an application include:

• experience in programming with C++, Java, or frontend frameworks such as React and Angular
• project work or hobby projects within programming
• previous summer jobs or internships within the tech industry
• knowledge of cloud technologies, such as AWS

Focus on community and support

The programme is designed to be flexible and efficient, with the ambition that all participants have a clear role from the start. With support from experienced colleagues and shared activities, a safe and inspiring environment is created.

How to apply

Applications are open until March 12, 2026, via HiQ’s career page. The programme is based at HiQ’s Stockholm office and is conducted on site. Read more and apply here (in Swedish).
