Hi Rana! Your career is impressive. What makes Nokia interns stand out before and after getting accepted?

Hi Anas, it’s great to connect with you on the Insider—and thank you for your thoughtful question!

At Nokia, while each internship role has specific requirements depending on the region and program, there are a few qualities that consistently help applicants stand out. A genuine passion for technology and telecommunications is essential. We’re always excited to see candidates who are curious about the future of connectivity and eager to contribute. Having foundational technical skills relevant to the internship focus—whether in software, networks, or analytics—also makes a big difference. What truly elevates an application, though, is when it’s tailored to the role. When you take the time to align your background and interests with what Nokia is doing, it shows a clear and compelling interest that helps your application shine.

Once interns join Nokia, they become part of a global organization that thrives on innovation. They get to work on real projects that help them build technical expertise, while also collaborating with teams across different countries and cultures. The experience is enriched by mentorship and support, creating an environment where interns can grow professionally and personally. It’s a place where curiosity is encouraged, initiative is valued, and learning is constant.

I hope this information provides you further insight, and I am always here if you have any further questions:)
