Nothing beats real experience, as early as possible. We slready know this, but you can see for yourself. Your internship at COPA-DATA is more than just a taster. You'll be right in the middle of projects for four weeks with all the help you need. This is the only way to get a real impression of what our work and our company is all about. We give you the freedom to gain your own experiences and are happy to share ours with you. A buddy will be at your side for all your questions, answers, and tips. Internships are available in almost all areas of our company and, of course, we pay you fairly for your work.
Not a pro yet? Don't worry! We know you're still learning, aren't we all? No one is born a genius but everyone has talents and that's exactly what we want to bring out and encourage.
That's why we take a broad approach to promoting young talent. From STEM initiatives and career fairs to company tours and thesis supervision, the full program.
