Through the key partner cooperation, Mehiläinen can bring a working life perspective to Laurea's students while also learning something new from the students themselves.

In addition to medical centres and hospitals, Mehiläinen employs professionals, for example in its own support services and in units that are part of public health care.

Mehiläinen is one of Finland's largest private employers, with the aim of being the most desirable place to work in the social and health care sector. As cooperation with educational institutions is important to Mehiläinen, the company wants to invest in a good and high-quality internship experience for students.
