Internship – Digital & Technology

“My internship at Heineken introduced me to an exciting and dynamic company that, as someone who had no previous experience in the beverage market, truly is a 160 year old startup. I can say that innovation and technology will be part of your world, 24/7, and the possibilities for learning and development are endless. It all depends on your curiosity and proactiveness!” – Vitor Vassimon
