A record-breaking edition of the Budimex Academy Internship Programme is launched, which enables young people to gain experience in the implementation of strategic construction investments throughout Poland. This year, the company has prepared over 300 paid places for students and dozens of offers for technical students in 75 locations throughout the country. Recruitment begins on March 2 and will last until the end of June.
The Budimex Academy Internship Programme is one of the largest educational initiatives in the construction industry in Poland. In this year’s edition, students will work on construction sites and in the company’s offices in 75 locations in 14 provinces, and for the first time abroad – in Tallinn, Estonia. The program will last from March to the end of September, although the vast majority of internships are planned for the summer period, so that they do not interfere with classes during the academic year. Applications for participation in the program can be submitted via the www.akademiabudimex.pl website.
” We are entering a decade of huge infrastructure investments in Poland, which will require thousands of well-prepared specialists. At Budimex, we not only observe these changes, but also actively support the development of future staff. Our internship programme is a real start for young people in an industry that is one of the most innovative and fastest growing sectors of the economy today ,” says Anna Karyś-Sosińska, Member of the Management Board, Director of the Human Resources Management Division at Budimex SA.
Internships at Budimex – a chance to start a career, not only for engineers
The Budimex Academy Internship Programme is addressed not only to students of civil engineering and related fields, but also to people interested in a career in areas such as HR, finance, law, health and safety, IT and innovation. Apprentices can gain experience both on construction sites and in the Economic Offices of Construction Companies throughout Poland and at the company’s headquarters – m.in. in the IT Office, the Financial Division, the Legal Office, the Technical Office, the Innovation Department or the Warranty Branches. As every year, all internships are paid.
“Our program has been very highly rated by the participants for years. Students particularly appreciate the implementation process, the working atmosphere, cooperation with the supervisor and the team, as well as ambitious, developmental tasks. Nearly 60% of participants declare their willingness to continue working in the company, and over 20% of apprentices stay at Budimex permanently or return for the next edition of the program – adds Anna Karyś-Sosińska.
Internships for technical school students – investment in the youngest talents
At the same time, Budimex is developing the Apprenticeship Programme for students of construction technicians, which will have its fifth edition this year. Several dozen young people will have a chance to gain real professional experience, develop competences, both technical and soft, under the supervision of a dedicated tutor and build a network of industry contacts. Students can also participate in additional integration initiatives and competitions, and the best of them will receive a financial scholarship. A total of 213 students have already taken part in the four editions of the program so far.
Budimex consistently invests in the development of young talents
The activities carried out as part of the Budimex Academy are part of the company’s long-term strategy, focused on building the competences of future construction industry staff. For years, the company has been developing cooperation with technical and economic universities, engaging in research and development projects and initiatives supporting the development of practical skills of students.
Budimex also creates modern spaces conducive to learning and integration. Budimex zones were created, m.in, at the Stanisław Noakowski Technical School of Architecture and Construction in Warsaw and at the Bialystok University of Technology.
The company has concluded 27 cooperation agreements with universities and established strategic partnerships with 53 schools across the country. Thanks to Budimex’s educational and partner programmes, such as the Budimex Academy or the Ambassador Programme, over 3,000 young people have already gained their first professional experience in the construction industry.
