Aker Talent 2021

This is your chance to showcase your skills and gain insight into the Aker companies for the opportunity to become a summer intern or graduate employee in 2022. If this sounds exciting to you, join our Aker Talent Student Challenge this October.

What’s the Challenge?

We believe the Aker companies play an important role in standing up to face global environmental challenges. We hope you can help us finding new and better ideas to reach our goals.

For the fourth time, we will gather 40 students for the Aker Talent Student Challenge. These talented young people will work in cross-functional teams to solve real sustainability challenges faced by nine Aker companies – Aker Horizons, Aker Clean Hydrogen, Aker Offshore Wind, Aker Carbon Capture, Aize, Aker BP, Aker Solutions, Cognite and Aker BioMarine.

The case challenges will cover a range of sustainability topics, including developing renewable energy solutions and new low-carbon concepts, digitalization and making current operations, products, or services more sustainable.

From previous events, around half of the participants have been selected for internships or graduate positions.
