On July 10th, we welcomed Janne Kontuniemi, our new intern from Finland,  he has a Major in Product Development and a Master of Science. He is going to intern at our partner Produteca, a company focused on Product Design services.

At our arrival orientation he shared a bit of his expectations for the program.

BE: Why did you choose to come to Brazil for an exchange program?

Janne: I found out that there was an interesting internship position that would suit my studies well. Brazil is really interesting and exotic country but I don’t know much about it yet. So I am really looking forward to experience life in Curitiba and also practice my professional skills as well.

BE: How do you feel today that you are starting this experience? Can you describe your feelings?

Janne: Today I feel excited and nervous at the same time. I am really looking forward to see my colleagues and hear more about the internship. I am expecting to have valuable work experience and also bring something valuable to the company.
