@Nick M the NextGEN program looks really interesting. But is it just about social connections?

Great question! The NextGEN community is definitely about building social connections, but is much more than just that. It’s a space where new hires can grow professionally, find mentorship, and get involved in leadership opportunities. Through events, workshops, and networking, you can develop soft skills like communication and collaboration, while also learning about Nokia’s technologies and career paths. It’s a great way to feel supported, get inspired, and start shaping your journey at Nokia from day one.

You can find out more on this webpage as well: NextGEN Community | Nokia.com

I’d just add that NextGEN also helps new hires connect the dots between their day-to-day work and Nokia’s broader innovation efforts. You get to meet people working across technologies, from 5G and Cloud RAN to AI and network automation, and really see how your role contributes to the bigger picture. It’s also a great platform to showcase your own ideas, volunteer in global initiatives, and grow visibility within the company early in your career.
