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.        
All in all I can say it was a really great time in Torquay, I think I improved my English and I think I’m more independent now.Thank you Training Partnership for this great time, I’ll never forget this experience!
