Fairness Is a Top Priority for Us
Our employees may drink an average of 15 cups of coffee a week, but we don't need interns to fetch it for them. We see internships and all other kinds of work for students as an opportunity for your professional orientation and not as a substitute for full-time positions. Which is why we signed up to the Fair Company initiative many years ago.
Internship at Vector: Your Place To Grow
As an intern, you’ll get to work on interesting and relevant projects during your studies and get a taste of how it is to work at Vector. You’ll familiarize yourself with a department and become part of a team. And because we know that no intern has ever started out as the finished article, we’ll give you the support of experienced colleagues. After a thorough induction, you’ll have the opportunity to work on tasks independently, albeit of course with qualified support from your personal contact, who will answer your questions, give you helpful tips, and offer you feedback on your work to support and promote your professional and personal development.
Through regular meetings and events with other students at Vector, you’ll gain further exclusive insights into other areas of the company and also have the opportunity to build up a network.
What happens after you’ve applied? As soon as we’ve received your documents and preselected you, we’ll invite you to a face-to-face interview. Here we’ll get to know each other and discuss further steps to make your internship at Vector a valuable experience.
And After the Internship?
- Would you like to continue working on your project and gain more practical experience during your studies? If so, why not become a working student?
- The only thing you still need to graduate is your thesis, which you’d like to write while working with us - contact us in good time so that we can run through all the options for you to work through your chosen topic. Write your thesis when working with us.
