business environment.

In the summer of 2014 34 students were given
the opportunity to gain practical experience
in a real business environment. The students
became part of 17 company departments, in-
cluding Business Sales, Retail Segment, Value
Creation, Legal Affairs and Data Protection,
Regulatory Affairs, Customer Service, Human
Resources and Administration, Corporate
Affairs, Sourcing and Logistics, Network Ex-
ploitation and Maintenance, etc. These tal-
ented interns also went through trainings in
presentation skills and an induction program
that familiarized them with the Telenor struc-
ture and functions, company culture, mission
and values. The initiative was closed with a
special event at which participants received
internship certificates and planted a tree as a
symbol of growth and development.
Reneta Slavova,
Trainee in Corporate Affairs Division
The traineeship program started with an official opening at which all interns released pigeons
in the sky as a symbol of the flying start of our future career development. We also participated
in a special induction seminar that helpedus get to knoweachother, learn about the company’s
history and activities. I was pleased by the interactive way in which everything was presented
to us. We also took part in a presentation skills training.
Besides being a trainee in the Public Relations department I also had the pleasure to learn
more about the responsibilities of my colleagues in 2 other teams - Internal communication
and Corporate Responsibility. I received various interesting tasks and whenever I had to finish
something the teamwould introduce me to the bigger picture inwhich mywork fit in. I received
a thorough feedback on my work in a very positive and constructive manner.
I am leaving with mixed feelings. This traineeship was an incredible opportunity to learn
something new every day and to practice the theory learned at the university. But! It was
impossible not to get attached to my team…
