Like almost every other company openBC employs interns. In our sales as well as our internationalisation and marketing & communication department (where I work
) we like to work with interns from different countries and we are constantly looking for university students who would like to get a 6-month insight into the every day work life at openBC.
We try to treat our interns fair. When we heard about the initiative “Fair Company” by the magazine “Karriere” (career) and read through their requirements we noticed that they align with the rules we have set up for ourselves.
So we applied and now openBC is officially entitled to wear the label “Fair Company”. Being a “fair company” means following 5 Rules:
* Do not substitute full-time jobs with interns, trainees, etc.
* Do not put off university graduates, who have actually applied for a job, with a internship
* Do not allure interns with the vague prospect of a following full-time-job
* Do offer internships mainly for professional orientation
* Pay interns adequately
There is a chance that we might actually offer a vacant job to an intern. But there’s no guarantee. What we guarantee is an interesting and multifaceted work and a very nice team. Applications welcome!
