Valmet has been chosen as the third most attractive employer by engineering students in Finland. The ranking was published in
Universum’s annual
Talent Research, which is the largest employer survey carried out in Finland.
Valmet has maintained this position for the past few years, which reflects Valmet’s continued commitment to providing opportunities for students and new graduates to grow and develop, whether it is through summer positions, trainee programs or thesis work. Valmet prides itself in empowering students from different backgrounds to learn and apply their skills in real-life tasks and projects. To this end, the company will once again offer positions to over 500 young people this summer in Finland.
Hanna Heikkilä, Valmet’s vice president (talent management), said: “We are very proud to be one of the most attractive employers among engineering students in Finland once again. In the past few years our team has built new trainee programmes, 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.
“In the future, we will need different kinds of professionals to help take our business forward. Students particularly bring in fresh ideas and extensive amount of knowledge, which strengthens our global Valmet team.”
The
Talent Research survey invited 13,000 students from different areas of study in Finland to provide insight on company characteristics that they find most attractive in a potential employer as well as companies they would consider to be their ideal employer. Valmet was included in the ranking in the fields of business, engineering, information technology (IT) and natural sciences.
