My name is Tabea Bitz, I live in a small village near
Heidelberg in Germany.
At the moment I
do an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk at the Rudolf Wild GmbH & Co.
KG in Eppelheim near Heidelberg. WILD is worldwide leading in manufacturing
natural ingredients and developing complete solutions for the food and beverage
industry. The production and sale of the Capri Sun, as well as the beverage
Libella, represent the company's second core business.
When my trainee
supervisor told me that I’ve got the opportunity to do an internship abroad in an
English company I was really interested. She told me that I have to write an
application to the Organisation “Fairbund” and hope that they choose me for a
stipend for 3 weeks in Torquay. So fortunately Fairbund chose me!! I was really
happy but also a little bit afraid to go alone in another country for 3 weeks.
I arrive on a
Sunday evening. On Monday midday was my welcome meeting. So I’ve got a little bit time for get to know
Torquay better.
On Tuesday I
started working in the Training Partnership. I was a bit nervously but that
changed very quickly. All my colleges at the Training Partnership were so
friendly and helpfully to me. They explain me all my tasks very good and give
me not the feeling to be a misfit or something like that. I really liked go to
work. My working time elapsed very quickly every day. I really enjoy the 3 Weeks
at the Training Partnership.
Torquay is a
really beautiful city and has a lot of nice shops, so you can go shopping very
well. I also like the
harbour from Torquay so much. When the sun is shining you can really enjoy your
days here like in holiday.
I also liked the
student meetings very well. I think that is a really important for the students
here. It’s really good to get some connections with other people. We had always
a lot of fun together. For example: we went to the cinema in Torquay, to a
karaoke party and to the zoo in Paignton. So a big thank you to the people who
organize the meetings.
