“After my studies at Lund University in Sweden (International MBA) I started as a Consultant in Frankfurt, Germany at PricewaterhouseCoopers. For the past year I have been working in Strategic Marketing for an international wine company. My international studies and professional life have stimulated and solidified my interest in working over borders and building productive business relationships with people all over the world. The Trainee program provides me with valuable work experience in an English-speaking environment and exposes me for the first time to American business culture. I am sure that the skills and experience that I will gain through my 18 months at the Chamber of Commerce and at my sponsor company Regal Lager, will be invaluable for my future professional life.” 

-- Helena Ek, Trainee at SACC-Atlanta/Regal Lager
