It will be the key to this study.Through interviewing with 5 management trainees finally I got my original materials for this study. A grounded theory was adopted on which 3 cases were coded. Main findings of this study are that in the management trainees’experiences have three Learning themes:adapting the organization, integrating into the team and being competent for their work. In order to learn these three aspects, management trainees learn through a variety of ways, like learning in the work process, learning at formal setting and others.
