Practical training at Ponsse
Ponsse provides young people with a wide range of opportunities to gain
work experience.
Jakub Šitina from the Czech Republic started a five-month training period related to his studies at the beginning of the year. Jakub works in research and development as part of the cabin design team as a trainee.
He became familiar with Ponsse’s machines as a child. His father, Tomáš, has worked with Ponsse machines for more than 20 years and currently works as a service manager at Ponsse in the Czech Republic. Jakub became interested in Ponsse’s forest machines through his father’s work.
Martta Kuhmonen, a ninth grader from Vesanto, completed her work experience period (TET) in the warehouse at the Vieremä factory. She worked in the collection process. Her tasks included packing incoming goods into boxes and storing them in the automated warehouse, as well as collecting parts for production lines, for example.
Martta learned quickly in a supportive working environment. She has narrowed down her career interests to two options: a forest machine operator or a forest machine mechanic.
