Training Path Creation Trainee

We are looking for a Training Path Creation Trainee to join our R&D Development Team at Vaisala headquarters in Vantaa, Finland. Join us in organizing existing and new learning resources into a clear structure for (Product Owners) PO’s and (Project Managers) PM’s, enabling them to maintain key competencies. 

Vaisala is a global leader in measurement instruments and intelligence helping industries, nations, people, and the planet to thrive. From predicting hurricanes to optimizing renewable energy production, our technology is used where it matters the most – from data centers, windfarms and laboratories to airports, the Arctic and even the surface of Mars. Vaisala is recognized in TIME Magazine's World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025 study. Our team of over 2,400 experts and 59 nationalities around the world is committed to taking every measure for the planet. Driven by our shared purpose, curiosity, and pioneering spirit, we stay ahead and make a difference. At Vaisala, you don't have to fit in to belong. 

What will your summer look like? 

• The project focuses on designing and implementing structured training paths within the company’s training portal for two key roles: R&D Project Managers and Software Product Owners. 

• These paths will combine e-learning and other learning elements (such as live trainings, competence development groups, coaching and business-focused trainings) into a clear overall structure for POs and PMs, supporting their professional development and onboarding. 

• You will not be creating training materials or trainings yourself; instead, you will curate, organize and structure existing and new content. 

• In addition to the main project, you will also support and coordinate other development team initiatives related to program management.  

Why are the tasks important for the team / for Vaisala? 

• This serves as an enabler for executing our new Portfolio organization strategy. 

What are the expected results? 

• The main goal is to create a user‑friendly and logical training experience that provides a clearer understanding of what is expected from the R&D Project Manager and Software Product Owner roles. 

What would a successful outcome of the project look like? 

• A successful outcome would include a clear and complete training path for each role, published in the training portal. All new R&D Project Managers and Software POs will gain a solid competence foundation in the Vaisala context, where R&D is a strategic tool for the business.  

What the trainee could learn during the trainee period? 

• Collaboration with stakeholders (e.g., R&D Project Managers, SW Product Owners, managers) for feedback and validation. 

• Documenting progress and preparing a final project report. 

To what kind of a team the trainee would join? Who they would work with during the trainee period? 

• You will be part of an active and positive development team, so you won’t be working alone. You will join our six‑person team, all of whom are senior‑level managers. 

• Together, we are developing the system that defines how our 250‑person R&D organization works and is trained. Through this work, you will learn why R&D is considered the “crown jewel” of a high‑tech company like Vaisala—because R&D creates all the new products that fuel our global business. 

Practicalities: location, possibility of remote work? 

• The location is Vaisala Headquarters in Vantaa. In practice, you will work in the same R&D building as the rest of the team. We work mostly on-site, with only occasional remote work. 

What will you bring? 

• Educational background in user experience design, documentation, pedagogy, or social studies. 

• Ability to organize and structure content logically. 

• Strong communication and collaboration skills. 

• A people‑centric mindset.  

Ready to take every measure for the planet? Apply at the latest on March 15, 2026 via the application form. Please attach your CV. 

Kindly note that we are not able to provide support in relocation or work permit-related matters.
