As an intern, Joel not only spent a week looking at the individual departments, but also really lent a hand. From production to design to marketing, he was able to get an idea of where his professional journey might take him in the future.

Our authorized signatory Anny also talked about the ins and outs of self-employment, discussed the importance of values with Joel and explained the reasons behind the founding of ABSAUGWERK 2019.

And what Joel has to tell?

Hey!

I’m Joel, I’m 15 years old and I was allowed to do my internship for school at ABSAUGWERK for a whole week!

On the first day I was allowed to take a look at marketing! I learned how important a company’s external image is in order to authentically address potential customers or new WERKERs and convince them of its merits.

On the second day, I was in Sales and was given an overview of exactly what you do in Sales. I also learned how to write order confirmations.

On the third day I visited the construction! There I learned to draw technically and to print something in the 3D printer. I then created documentation for a customer.

On Thursday I was working in production! First, I learned how an extraction unit is constructed and what it is used for. I then screwed together two cylinders and four bucket holders, compacted the joints in the extraction units and cut the filter flow to size.

In general, I really liked the working atmosphere and the way the “WERKERs” treated each other! I would definitely come here again 😉
