As a fresh college graduate can I do an internship at Nokia?

Hello, to further explain my question. I have finished a Seneca College - Computer Systems Technician Diploma in Toronto, and then relocated to Ottawa-Kanata region. I am interested in an internship position at Nokia (Doesn't have to be paid) to further extend my experience and a have a potential chance at full-time employment as a network technician or system administrator.

I have found various interesting positions Nokia advertised in the "career's" section, but i have noticed a difference between a "student" positions and "co-op/intern", the later one states that the applicant doesn't have to be enrolled in studies and be only a 'candidate'.

Thus I ask you, is there a chance my resume might be considered even if I am no longer an active student, but a fresh graduate?

Thank you very much for your time and explanation.
Best regards,

Lukas Millar

Hi Lukas,

Great to hear from you and thank you for your great question. All student, co-op, or intern positions are the same essentially. You can be a co-op or an intern to apply; however, you do have to be enrolled in an accredited post-secondary institution in order to be eligible. All of our student positions are paid as we do not offer unpaid or volunteer work. What you would be eligible for are our new grad positions. In the Americas region, you can find them easily as they are typically designated with the acronym "Junior" or "Jr." in the position title. Hope this helps! Best of luck in your application process.

Kind regards,
