New Professionals Program Lead

Our values are weaved into our essentials of being open, fearless and empowered. Why that is important is our efforts to be a leader in DEI, where we can bring our authentic selves to work, share our ideas and solutions and do meaningful work together in a diverse, inclusive global company. Our ERGs like StrongHer Canada champion for those values through events, networking, upskilling and challenging the status quote for career advance for women. We also have many other ERGs that support underrepresented groups and we also have a specific pillar in our People Strategy that focuses on creating community and belonging as well as programming that dives into inclusive behaviours and work culture.

Hi Taiwo S. In addition, Nokia ensures mandatory training of its employees on DEI to promote a culture of respect and to provide safe and inclusive workspace for everyone

One of the greatest challenge newcomers to Canada struggle with is "the Canadian experience" what is Nokia doing to ensure they don't miss out on great talents under the guise of lack of prior Canadian experience.

Hi Taiwo S. Nokia's interview and selection process is based on your experience and suitability to the role not based on your prior experience working in Canada

I have a great experience with Nokia related to that. My manager treated my previous experience and schools I finished back in Poland as a valid education and experience.I was asked questions about it during my interview and I was able to provide Nokia with my translated and validated by World Education Services diplomas.
