Kempower is placed in the top 50 most attractive Finnish employers for engineering students by Universum

Kempower has been included in Universum’s Student Rankings 2025 for the first time, ranking 45th out of the 100 most attractive Finnish employers for engineering students and 59th out of the 100 most attractive Finnish employers for natural sciences students.

Every year, university students vote for their ideal employers in Finland’s largest, most comprehensive and independent career related study – the Universum Talent Survey. The survey collates the responses of over 10,000 students in Finland to questions about the company characteristics they find most attractive in a potential employer as well as who they perceive to be their ideal employer, which is used to create the Universum Student Ranking.  

This year, Kempower was included in the ranking for the first time, placing 45 out of 100 for most attractive Finnish employer for engineering students and 59 out of 100 in the natural sciences students’ list.  

Kempower has forged its path to ranking on the list by investing heavily in knowledge, education, training and innovation, seeing them as critical elements to help drive the success of the company. Kempower has built trainee programs for students and graduates and facilitated close cooperation with different higher education institutions, including establishing the Kempower Electric Mobility Research Center (EMRC) in partnership with LUT University. It also arranges company visits for students and course collaborations and sends team members to meet future talents at student events and fairs. 

We are incredibly proud to be ranked so highly in our first year being included in the Universum Student Ranking, and happy to see that our hard work investing in young talent is being recognized,” commented Hanne Peltola, Kempower’s Chief People Officer. “For students working at Kempower, we want to offer meaningful, real-world experiences and tasks to help them become a trusted and valued member of the team. Students have fresh ideas, access to the latest research and a lot of beneficial insights and knowledge to bring.” 

“We as a company operate in a growing and evolving industry. We need learners, doers and problem-solvers from many different backgrounds, which is why we value and welcome everyone as they are, and students are an important part of this. E-mobility is a field of the future, and we will need even more skilled professionals going forward.”
