Valmet hires a record number of summer trainees: nearly 500 young people to work and train for the summer in Finland
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Corporation's press release, May 18, 2017 at 11:00 a.m.
This summer, more than 400 students will work at Valmet as summer trainees, and
around 100 young people from elementary and high schools will work at the
company through a Finnish "Tutustu työelämään ja tienaa" summer job introduction
program.
Valmet will employ summer trainees in 16 locations, with largest number of
trainees in Tampere and Jyväskylä. Most of the summer employees will work in
engineering functions, customer service, sales, marketing, product development
and financial administration. Around 200 summer workers will be employed in
production.
"Close interaction with students is important for Valmet, and summer jobs serve
this purpose perfectly. Each year, summer employees are an important part of our
workplace community, and we appreciate their feedback on Valmet as a workplace.
We will also provide them with feedback on their work, to help them develop into
the professionals of the future," says Julia Macharey, Senior Vice President,
Human Resources at Valmet.
In addition to providing summer jobs, Valmet and Children and Youth Foundation
have a cooperation program ongoing. The program enables 100 young people to
develop their working life skills at Valmet. The young people selected to
participate in the program are either unemployed or are participating in
preparatory education for vocational training (VALMA). The first group of 45
participants worked at Valmet in April, and the second phase of the program will
begin in the fall. The other program partners are Academic Work and WorkPilots.
