Solve real-life business and tech challenges with small and medium-sized companies – fully remote and fully in English!
What is Herizon Internship Program?
The Herizon Internship Program (HIP) connects students with Finnish SMEs to work on real-world projects.
Example project topics in 2026:
- Business & Growth track: B2B sales outreach automation, short-form video creation (TikTok/Reels), social media strategies, market entry research, and product roadmaps.
- IT & Software track: Web and mobile development (React, React Native, TypeScript), UI/UX design (Figma), AI/LLM integrations, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and software testing frameworks.
Structure of the programme (Total 400h / 15 ECTS):
- Bootcamp (40h): Flexible, self-paced online bootcamp (approx. 2 weeks) where you demonstrate your skills, motivation, and working life readiness.
- Talent Pool & Matching: After completing the bootcamp, you enter the talent pool where companies offer internships through anonymous matching. Note: Matching takes time and it depends also on your own proactivity (e.g., replying promptly to messages and vibe check invitations from companies).
- Internship at a Company (360h / approx. 10–12 weeks): Work on real company projects with ongoing support from Herizon.
- Commitment: Requires min. 30–40 hours/week (approx. 4–5 full days/week).
