„We are searching for young people and future colleagues, who – further to what they learnt in school – can contribute to the company’s success with their creative and individual thinking, with their attitude and individuality. Such people make the Telekom community excellent” – said Éva Somorjai, chief human resources officer.

Currently 200 young people participate in one of Hungary’s most well known and most popular trainee programs, representing 100 faculties of 37 education institutions, chosen from among almost 1,000 applicants. Together with the similar program of T-Systems Hungary, the Magyar Telekom Group provides the impetus to about 500 trainees, starting their professional career.

The Telekom trainee program enjoys high popularity for numerous reasons: following a 2 months probation period, in addition to the fix monthly salary the company also acknowledges the work of young people by providing different fringe benefits, while trainees also receive constant feedback through the mentor system, providing effective development for freshmen just starting their career. This offers an excellent possibility to step out from behind the school bench, putting what they learnt at school to practical use, while the company also benefits from the work of trainees bringing fresh knowledge and creative ideas. Also not to be underestimated: talented and agile young people can also receive a career offer from the company, upon the completion of their studies.
