Cooperation with educational institutions 

KONE actively works with educational institutions and participates in recruitment fairs and various student activities. We share and develop competence through research, traineeships, thesis projects and other forms of cooperation.

KONE’s local organizations around the world provide internships for technical and economics students in their home countries, while KONE’s International Trainee Program (ITP) enables students to apply for trainee positions abroad. The KONE International Trainee Program is for university students who are at least halfway through their studies and recent graduates. The traineeship lasts from three to six months, depending on the position, and offers students interesting challenges in a real working environment. It also functions as an excellent means for students to develop a future career with KONE.

KONE International Trainee Program

Every year KONE offers promising students and recent graduates the opportunity to work abroad for local KONE organizations in some seven to ten countries.
