Any questions?
In all of them! Essentially, you can do an internship in every area. Naturally, not every area is always searching for interns at the same time. Take a look at the openings and see if an area you are interested in is currently looking.
Ideally, 1 to 3 months before your desired start date and at least one month before.
This depends on the internship you are applying for. An interview is definitely part of the process. This can be on-site or virtual. You may also be given a small task. But above all, we want to get to know you.
Yes! You can also find our openings for working students on our website. Just take a look and see if there is something for you.
What our current and former interns say
I find my internship in Channel Management Direct Sales so exciting because direct sales combines conventional and traditional sales components here at Vodafone with cutting-edge technology for strategy and process optimisation. In addition, as a GigaCompany at Vodafone, I gain new insights in almost all areas such as through intern shadowing, where I can look over the shoulders of interns from other departments.
Luis Knufmann
Intern in Channel Management Direct Sales
As an intern in Sustainable Finance and Controlling, what excites me most at Vodafone is the commitment to sustainability: the focus on green technologies and the effort to reduce the ecological footprint. I am also impressed with the innovative strength and constant development in the digital field. The work here is characterised by a supportive and inspiring working atmosphere which always enables me to develop new knowledge and skills. This encourages my personal and professional development.
Philipp Mennen
Intern Sustainable Finance and Controlling
As an intern at Vodafone, you a huge range of opportunities! I was immediately brought on board in various projects and also had the opportunity to complete them independently for the most part. This means that I took on responsibilities from day one and always had the feeling that values such as trust and respect are also important during an internship. I also really like the fact that I can organise my time at Vodafone in a way that suits me and that is incredibly flexible. Here, you really have the chance to develop personally!
