Future talent

At Thales, we place strong emphasis on nurturing future talent through our internship programmes. In India, over 100 students join our company as interns every year. These internships serve as a vital stepping-stone to permanent employment, with a significant percentage of participants in our work-study and internship programmes being offered engineering positions on fixed or indefinite contracts each year.

During your internship at Thales, you will work on meaningful projects, gain insight into current market trends, and refine your technical skills, particularly in emerging technologies. Moreover, our internship programme provides an introduction to the corporate world, instilling professional ethics and preparing you for the industry. By participating in an internship, you could become an engineer well before graduation, facilitating a seamless transition into the workforce when you embark on a full-time career.
