Hello Divyesh R.,
Nokia encourages and equips all engineers, including interns and early-career professionals, through training and information-sharing about innovation and IPRs (Intellectual Property Rights). From my experience, Nokia focuses on building a strong knowledge and an innovative culture as a foundation. This foundation helps individuals develop the skills and mindset necessary to think creatively, solve complex problems, and eventually propose innovations or improved IPRs. Furthermore, Nokia organizes workshops from time to time to generate and encourage innovations.
Best regards,
Casey
Hi Casey,
I really appreciate your explanation of how Nokia fosters innovation. Thinking about the intern experience, I’d love to know — what are the key skills or knowledge areas that interns usually develop during their time at Nokia? How do these experiences prepare interns to contribute to real projects or innovations?
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Best regards,
Divyesh
Hello Divyesh R.,
The key skills and knowledge areas developed by interns may vary across Nokia, as each intern is assigned to different roles and departments. Sharing from my department, interns typically learn about telecommunications technology, enhance their programming skills (using C++), learn log analysis, and develop problem-solving skills.
With hands-on experience, supported by Nokia's culture (being open, fearless, and empowered), interns are encouraged to contribute to actual projects or innovation. In addition, interns also develop soft skills like teamwork, communication, and adaptability through cross-functional collaboration.
Best regards,
Casey
