Internship

Information and instructions on internships in Finland and abroad.

The goal of an internship is to promote employability skills and gain work experience in your field. Internship gives you an understanding of the requirements of the working life and instills confidence in your own abilities. Internship can also enhance your employment prospects by helping you establish important connections with professionals in your field.

Internship can be included in your studies either as a compulsory or elective component. In vocational subjects, internship is an essential part of the education. In subjects that produce academic professionals for various job positions, seeking out internships may require a more proactive approach from the student themselves. Especially when it comes to organizing internships abroad, it is advisable to allow for ample planning time.
