InternFest 2024

The length of the internship varies from 2.5 to five months. The studies of Laurea students include two internships, which the student can complete either as two separate internships or as one longer internship. Completing a combined internship is currently popular with students.

The internship can also be completed part-time, in which case the length of one internship period is 400 hours. The student has the opportunity to complete an internship also during the summer, when the internship period can be formed into a fixed-term employment relationship similar to a summer job.

Internship can be paid or unpaid.
 
In a paid internship, the student is employed or employed at the place of internship. In this case, the student and the employer enter into a separate employment contract in accordance with the Employment Contracts Act, in which case the student receives a salary for his internship and is covered by the employer's labor protection. There is no single policy on the size of the salary, but salaries vary depending on the company. In government internships, the salary is around 1400-1700€/month. It is desirable that the intern would be treated the same as other employees, in which case other possible benefits would be in line with that.

The internship can also be unpaid, in which case the student, the internship representative and Laurea's representative enter into an internship contract. During the unpaid internship, the student is insured by Laurea.

The student can complete the internship flexibly at a different stage of their studies, so the timing of the internship can easily be adjusted to the needs of the internship provider.

It is hoped that the trainings arranged at the time of HarkkaFest will start by the summer of 2024.

3. Prepare for about 10 minutes of interview discussions with students at the stand
   • Things to be considered:
     • The space is not private, so questions should be considered accordingly
     • A good idea could be to focus on the so-called motivational questions and getting to know the person - not focusing on the experience
     • "Why do you want to work in this field/company/etc.?"
     • "What do you want to learn from this training?"
     • "How does this internship fit into your future plans?"
   • If necessary, teaching rooms are also available for private discussions
4. Book appointments in your calendar in advance for job interviews after InternFest
   
   • It would be good for the student to be able to book an appointment themself, once they have received permission (e.g. direct link to the calendar)
