Nokia’s Technical Career Path – Aligning professional aspirations with business growth

Nokia’s Technical Career Path – Aligning professional aspirations with business growth

A Competitive Differentiator for Talent

The global workforce is changing, and so are its priorities.  Studies consistently show that, when it comes to what people are looking for in an employer, professional growth and career advancement opportunities are at or near the top of the list.  Any company that is serious about attracting and retaining talent must make employee development and progression a main area of focus.

Nokia is stepping up to the challenge with the introduction of its Technical Career Path.  A key element of its comprehensive People Strategy, the Technical Career Path aligns the personal and professional growth aspirations of its employees with the skills and expertise Nokia needs to excel in today’s fast-moving technology sector.  Regardless of one’s role, technical or non-technical, Individual Contributor or People Manager, early or advanced career, Nokia now offers its employees the choice between two equally important ways to grow: the traditional managerial career path and now also the new technical career path for all who prefer to pursue a career as subject matter experts without necessarily leading a team.

Technical Career Path Program Structure

Nokia’s Technical Career Path is structured in four primary areas:

  • Visibility to career paths and skills/competencies needed for individual growth.
  • Opportunities to grow needed skills and gain required experience.
  • Learning & Development to deepen and broaden essential skills and competencies.
  • Reward & Recognition of technical growth and progress.

Talent Attraction, Retention and Growth

Our aim is to enable rewarding and purposeful careers for both Individual Contributors and People Managers.  By assisting employees in their career journeys, Nokia is not only developing essential skills for its future success but is also providing compelling and challenging opportunities that attract and retain top talent in the industry.  

For those interested in more than a job, but charting your course for the future, Nokia has the solution for you: Nokia Careers - Jobs
