As we continue to offer hybrid working possibilities to all colleagues whose work allows it, we also continue our summer trainee activities in a hybrid form. We plan to offer events and gatherings in Vaasa, Turku and Helsinki with online options to make sure we can all enjoy the summer together - and we invite you to ideate on what you would like to participate in!
It is vital that our newest Wärtsilians, some joining us for the first time in the summer, feel welcome, have a way to connect with people and to see how much we appreciate their work. That is why the Summer Power Hybrid- program was created in 2020. The initiative also received the award for the “most innovative summer job practice” through Oikotie`s Responsible Summer Job (Vastuullinen Kesäduuni) campaign in 2020.
Become a trainee and Wärtsilä, join our community of great colleagues and even make new friends. So, If you join Wärtsilä next summer – be sure to take part in Summer Power Hybrid as well!
