What did you do during your internship?
I was involved in designing and assembling a transport trolley for lifting equipment in the assembly hall. I started with research into the applications of lifting equipment, and the wishes and requirements of colleagues and end users. This was important because the lifting equipment must be good and easy for everyone to use.
What was the outcome?
In the end, I designed, developed and made the transport trolley, including assembly work, as well as welding and sawing. Welding was new to me; I had never done this before. After receiving guidance from my colleagues, I was able to produce neat welds.
Looking back, how would you describe your internship? What did you enjoy and what was the biggest challenge?
Incredibly good! I saw and learned a great deal during my internship at Hellings: welding, putting ideas and designs down on paper, communicating with end users, and, of course, gaining valuable insight into the business world. What I enjoyed most was welding, assisting with assembly work, and working alongside such great colleagues.
My biggest challenge: finding a place at Hellings. Fortunately, I settled in quickly and received a warm welcome and excellent guidance within the company.
