Valmet takes pride in empowering students with different backgrounds to learn and apply their skills in real life tasks and projects. Valmet once again offers positions to over 500 trainees this summer in Finland.
“We are very proud to be one of the most attractive employers among engineering students in Finland again. In the past few years our team has built new trainee programs, strengthened collaboration with different universities, and most importantly, focused on supporting events and activities that encourage younger students to consider the technology field as a career.

Students particularly bring in fresh ideas and extensive amount of knowledge, which strengthens our global Valmet team”, says Hanna Heikkilä, Vice President, Talent Management, Valmet.
