Magyar Telekom is launching a new internship program offering university and college students the opportunity to gain in-depth practical experience. Applicants are requested to submit their applications to the program, which starts in February 2010, at the karrier.telekom.hu site by November 20.

Applicants must have active college (BSc or BA diploma) or university (MSc or MA degree) student status. The 5-month, practice-oriented training offers students the opportunity to do their compulsory internship at Hungary's largest telecom company.

"Our goal is to enlist new talents," said Chief Human Resources Officer, Éva Somorjai about Telekom's internship program. "We would like to meet students pursuing academic studies, whether they are in their second, third or final year. The success of the Telekom internship program is well proven by the fact that this is our 13th program of this kind and more than 500 students applied for places at the last one, launched in September. Our company is attractive for students because telecommunication is one of the most exciting and successful of all industries. I can proudly say that Telekom, as the Hungarian market leader, is the best place for students to show their abilities."

Participants of the Telekom internship program are required to work 20 hours per week, under fixed-term, part-time employment contracts, with 2 months probation. Interns are paid HUF 75 000 gross per month, which is coupled with a wide range of fringe benefits after the expiry of the probation period.

During the first three weeks of the Telekom internship program, interns are given preliminary training for later work on substantial and meaningful tasks in various professional fields. They then participate in specific projects of different functional areas. Each intern has a mentor, who helps the student to fit in, provides regular feedback and also play a significant role in the development of skills.

The Telekom internship program starts on February 1 and lasts till June 30, 2010. Applicants can submit their applications, including their personal data and CVs at the karrier.telekom.hu site by November 20. They will receive feedback by January 20.
