I never thought I would even be given one. technology industry.
unexpected journey
Joining Maersk was an exciting and daunting decision for me. When I finished school, I decided that university was not for me, so I decided to look for an internship and found Maersk. What appealed to me about joining Maersk as an apprentice was not only its cutting-edge work in technology, but also its core values, which are evident through an award-winning apprenticeship program and a culture that resonates with my aspirations.
When I started working at Maersk as an apprentice, I was very different in terms of confidence, personality and ambition. Joining Maersk was the best decision I ever made. I've discovered that I'm not only an employer, but a community that fosters a continued commitment to growth, inclusivity, and employee development.
Thrive in a collaborative ecosystem
From the beginning, Maersk's sense of community has been unparalleled. The amazing team I work with supports me and fosters an environment where support is not just a concept, but a reality. Although it was my first experience working in the corporate world, the inclusive culture made the transition smooth and all my initial concerns were dispelled. When I first joined the company, I was also assigned a mentor who supported me and gave me advice to help me settle into my role and make me feel like I belonged.

At Maersk, diversity and inclusion are more than just buzzwords. They are integral to the company's ethos. Maersk's commitment to supporting women in technology is a true testament to the company's dedication to its employees and its belief in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
As I continue my career at Maersk, I am excited about our continued efforts to support women in technology, making our workplace a beacon of diversity and inclusion in the technology industry.
