University and sixth-form students have opportunities to experience working life in a global technology business through internships at Technetix.

Concerns for young people are on the rise with less opportunities around work experience and traditional routes into employment. We believe businesses like ours should do more to help young people establish meaningful careers.

This summer, we welcomed nine individuals onto internships at Technetix. Our 2026 program provided placements in research and development, software, legal, and finance.

Contributing to real projects, interns were tasked with multi-regional colleague collaborations across different departments. This first-hand experience was a chance for them to get valuable insights for their future careers.

Feedback from the cohort reinforced the importance of providing meaningful workplace opportunities for young people. Interns highlighted the supportive culture they experienced across Technetix, describing teams as approachable and willing to help them learn. They particularly enjoyed working on genuine projects and not just observing from the sidelines.

Sarina Saiyed, a computer science undergraduate at the University of Liverpool, joined the team in Bilbao. She said, “I’ve had the opportunity to learn from a talented team and experience Bilbao! I’ve gained insight into the practical application of network architecture concepts, and how the Spanish site operates. I’m impressed with Technetix’ innovative approach to solving industry challenges, especially around fiber.”

Opening our doors to students at different educational stages helps bridge gaps between the classroom and the world of work. Most importantly, we’re building relationships with potential future talent. It’s this kind of practical action that keeps opportunities open to the next generation.
