Shape the future of technology
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. Over the course of the summer, you will contribute to meaningful work while receiving support and valuable lessons from a Nokia Future Tech Mentor. You will discover new possibilities and skills that will help you make an impact on the future of technology.
This year, we’re trying something new and introducing a hybrid model to the program.
Hybrid? How does that work?
During the pandemic, we have run the Future Tech program virtually. One benefit was hiring students from all over Canada. This year, we’re going to try an experiment. For the first time ever, students will be able to state if they prefer to work remotely from home or in the Ottawa office. If you do work from home, we will send you a computer to use and you will meet with your Mentor and other students virtually via Microsoft Teams.
Are you ready to join the Nokia Ottawa team? The program is running from July 7th to August 22nd, 2025.

About the company
Nokia’s transition to a primary focus on telecommunications began in the 1990s. The first GSM call was made in 1991 using Nokia equipment. Rapid success in the mobile phone sector allowed Nokia to become by 1998, the best-selling mobile phone brand in the world. In 2003 Nokia introduced the first camera phone. In 2011, to address increasing competition from iOS and Android operating systems, Nokia entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft. In 2014 Nokia sold its mobile and devices division to Microsoft. The creation of Nokia Networks, following the buy-out of joint-venture partner Siemens in 2013, laid the foundation for Nokia’s transformation into primarily a network hardware and software provider. The 2015 acquisition of Franco-American telecommunications equipment provider Alcatel-Lucent greatly broadened the scope of Nokia’s portfolio and customer base. Additional acquisitions have positioned Nokia to be an industry leader in the transition to 5G wireless technology by offering the only end-to-end 5G network portfolio available on a global basis. In 2016 the Nokia brand re-entered the mobile handset market through a licensing agreement with HMD Global, allowing them to offer phones under the Nokia brand.
