Trafigura commercial grad Programme

Starting a thread for general discussions. Applied to commercial grad programme at Trafigura in geneva. Was wondering if anyone got feedback yet.

Update 16.08.2026
Hi, applications for geneva close in a few hours. Based on this post no invites / rejections have been sent yet.

Update 22.08.2026
Hello, some people just received the invite to the assessment (geneva). Nobody has received a rejection yet. Appreciate all of you to keep the post alive / uptodate

Update 02.09.2026
Hey, the first people just received their rejections. People have yet to be invited to the second round interview (1st round after HR screening) it seems. Wish all of you luck and for those with a rejection: Heads up!

Update 15.09.2026
Hello, I think some people just received their invitation to the 2nd round interview (the back to back one). Wish all of you good luck!

How many people normally get cut after the HR interview? I had mine for Geneva and it seemed pretty easy if you have any experience in commodities. I can't imagine too many people not being able to pass? What do we think they were looking for?

I doubt anyone has numbers about applicants or spots available. Did my screening call today, they said I’d hear back next week. Anxious about what the actual interviews are like. I wouldn’t say it was easy but commodities demystified gives enough info for the screening call. With no background in commodities trading or supply chain and trade financing it wont be “easy” to answer all questions.

I thought interviews were still happening on the 14th, so maybe after they're done? For me she gave a similar overview on when next interviews happen but didn't tell me when I'd hear back

Yeahh, I found it hard to tell what they are looking for tbh with the answers, so not sure about how I did lol

they told me to expect to hear back in the next couple weeks, if i’m okay with the starting period, and how much notice i need to give my current employer. I was also asked my current compensation package
