Have you ever wondered what a high-tech career looks like? The Nokia Future Tech Summer Internship program will give you the opportunity to explore the world of technology while you're still a high school student.

Our internship is a seven-week program in which you will work alongside Nokia engineering teams solving real, technical problems.
