RAKSHIT Oy is taking an intern into a six month hybrid corporate experience programme in Lappeenranta, with applications closing on 30 September 2026 and a start on 10 October. At Youth Works Hub, we read the company's own internship page alongside the listing, because the two do not say the same thing about money.
The placement is aimed squarely at people with no corporate track record yet: the company frames it as a first corporate experience with the possibility of a full time role afterwards.
What the Internship Covers
The programme mixes business consulting work with an art market project, which is an unusual pairing.
📈 Business strategy.
🛡️ Social media reputation management.
📰 Public relations.
✍️ Feature writing.
🖼️ Working with The ART Compass project under close mentorship.
Inside The ART Compass Project
🖌️ The project runs a gallery outreach programme.
🎨 It involves arranging art shows.
🤝 It includes liaising with collectors and art buyers.
📣 The internship also covers identifying and working with social icons to drive effective traffic.
The company's own page adds that the project works with artists across Europe and Asia, including programmes connected to UNESCO Resiliart. Those are the company's own claims rather than independently verified facts, so treat them as the employer's description of its network.
Hours, Location and Format
🕣 Working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 16:30 EET.
🏢 The base is Lappeenranta in south eastern Finland.
💻 The role is hybrid, and onboarding can be done remotely.
⏳ The programme runs for six months.
The Money: Two Different Answers
This is the part that needs care, because the portal listing and the company page do not match.
📄 The portal listing labels the placement an unpaid traineeship and lists meal vouchers and an internet connection as benefits.
🏢 The company's own internship page says the onboarding phase, six weeks, is unpaid and can be done remotely, and that the total stipend for the rest of the six months "would be decided based on the evaluation during the onboarding period".
⚖️ Following the rule that the organisation's own page takes precedence over a portal field, the honest reading is this: the first six weeks are unpaid, and anything after that is negotiated based on how the onboarding goes.
💬 No figure is published anywhere, so ask for the number in writing before the onboarding period ends.
Who the Programme Suits
🔎 Strong research, writing and interpersonal skills, with an outgoing personality.
🎯 Ambition towards international business in a management role, or towards starting your own company.
🗣️ English is the working language.
🎓 The placement is open at short cycle, bachelor's and master's level.
Eligibility
🇪🇺 The listing hosts only candidates who do not require an additional work visa, meaning EU and EEA residents or people with existing residency.
📑 The programme is named as an Erasmus+ traineeship, so the funding route is your own mobility grant.
How to Apply
Applications go by email with a CV and a recent casual photo, as the listing requests. The company also publishes a guidance section on its own internship page, which is worth reading before writing, since the selection is based on writing and research ability rather than on prior corporate experience.
