Q2: Can I apply to do the programme in a different country to that of my home country?

Q5: How do I know if my application has been received?
A: You will receive a confirmation email.

Q6: Can I update my application before the deadline if I’ve sent it in already?
A: Yes, you can modify your submission until the recruiter has started the process. We will start to review the applications quite soon after receiving them, so it is better if your profile is complete sooner rather than later.

A: Yes, Uponor will pay the travel costs. In the invitation will be more detailed information.
