Flexible transition from studies to working life
High-quality on-the-job learning and an internship period during studies help develop your skills in turning theory into practice.
Our goal is to familiarise you with our job sites during the internship period while offering you work experience in your own field of expertise during your summer vacation.
Students from vocational institutes
- On-the-job learning is a goal-oriented work period included in basic vocational degree studies (20 credits). The aim is to learn certain basic degree content as part of working life.
- During your on-the-job learning period, you may choose to complete specialist studies for vocations that require special construction-related skills.
- A trained on-site instructor will be appointed for you.
Students from higher education institutions
- During your ‘overall training’ period at Lemminkäinen, you will learn about construction site operations from top experts in the field.
- You will benefit from your overall training experience in your site management training. Site management training at Lemminkäinen usually involves ancillary duties to start with and, later on, personal site management responsibilities. Procurement and planning duties may also be included in the work tasks.
- International internships and jobs are mainly offered in the building construction sector.
