I really enjoyed my internship because it taught me something new. I worked in HR, where I learned about IKA's people and culture. Afterwards, I was part of the marketing department and of the application center.

Nutnicha

Intern

Working in the Application Center helped me a lot to assess what to expect in the future and what I personally want to do. Among other things, I got answers to the questions 

”What do I want to do after my master’s degree?” and ”How do I want to be seen as an employee?"

IKA trains apprentices and students to secure a constant flow of young talent for the company. Naturally, this training is also part our social responsibility to provide an education to young individuals. Therefore, we usually accept more apprentices and students than we need for the company. The selected candidates usually sign their contracts four years before graduation. We cannot forecast the economic circumstances that far into the future and therefore, we cannot guarantee a full time position after successful completion of either program. However, we assure any graduate with proven performance and involvement in the program, a temporary position of at least three to six months. This provides time to concentrate on upcoming finals and exams before having to look for other employment opportunities.
