The third Teknos Trainee Program launched
The third global Teknos Trainee Program was launched in May-June, when five future talents joined the Teknos family. The Program is targeted at university and polytechnic students and aims to give trainees a first sight into working at Teknos and in the chemical industry.
The trainee period lasts for 4–6 months during which the students have the opportunity to work with various interesting tasks and projects in different functions including e.g. Business Development, R&D, HR and QEHS.
“The best feedback we received from last year’s trainees was that they felt that they could actually use their study knowledge in the course of their work. This also is the expectation of this year’s trainees – that they can really put something they learned at school into practice. We hope that we can support them to really grow their expertise during this summer”, says Arttu Lindroos, Group HR Manager.
Sanna Korhonen, who joined Teknos as R&D Trainee, agrees.
“I am looking forward to testing the knowledge I’ve gathered at school in practice and learning a lot of new things during the trainee program. I am very excited to see what kind of challenges this summer will bring”.
Also Noora Kuisma, Business Intelligence Trainee, has similar thoughts.
“I am proud to be able to start my success story here, and believe this position is a great opportunity for me to test my knowledge in practice, gain relevant experience in working as a part of an international company and most importantly, meet amazing new people”.
The trainee program is, of course, not just a great opportunity for the new employees.
“Trainees and all of our summer workers are all a very valuable asset to the company. They come with fresh ideas that help us to develop our processes and procedures. It is always a great mutual learning experience for both the new employees and the organization”, Arttu points out.
The Teknos Trainees will share articles about their experience on the Teknos website. The trainee path as well as how it is to work at Teknos can also be followed in social media with the hashtag #teknosfamily in Teknos Instagram and LinkedIn accounts.
