Internship as a ticket to the future
“As a summer intern, I learned what it’s like to work in a large, global company. I acquired a good understanding of how different departments and professional areas work together to achieve their goals. I’m from the area myself, but didn’t actually realise how big Ekornes is before I started working there. The company has a good working environment, with dedicated employees at home and abroad who are working systematically to develop it even further. Today, I work in the Marketing Department, and love it here. An internship gave me opportunities I didn’t know I had,” says Hanna Fauske Flack.
Opportunity to put theory into practice
"The Summer Internship at Ekornes has been a great experience. From day one, my tasks has been highly relevant for the company and I feel that the management are interested to hear our thoughts and ideas. My excel skills has significantly improved during the summer, and I have used theory from school in actual cases. Also, Sunnmøre has an amazing nature, and I think it is difficult to find an internship in Norway with such beautiful surroundings that is equally as relevant for an economic student as Ekornes Summer Internship," says Erlend W. Johansen, Finance intern.
"Being a summer intern at Ekornes has been a valuable experience, providing me the opportunity to put theory into practice. During the summer, I have worked on a task within automatization and replenishment, and gained a better understanding of challenges and opportunities in Ekornes as an international production company. Living in Sykkylven with the other interns has also given me the opportunity to combine the internship with hikes and trips in the area," says Line Sofie Grønnestad, Supply chain intern.
