During
your vocational training program, both of you had an international internship:
Thanks to your very good work, you had a chance to spend four weeks in Northern
Ireland. How did you like it? What sort of experiences did you have, and what
challenges did you face?
Sarah: I
worked in a lab that analyzes Ireland’s drinking water. The biggest challenge I
faced was the language barrier. But I overcame my inhibitions during the
internship. Sometimes, you just have to jump into the deep end. What can go
wrong? You will always find people who will help you.
Philipp: It was a really exciting time for me. My colleagues and I worked at the company Metal Technology. The company makes things like door frames and ventilation grilles made of aluminum. We experienced a whole lot together and got to know some new work processes. I will certainly profit from this international experience on the job here in Hamburg. And I really want to thank Beiersdorf for helping me!
