My six‑month internship in Kosme became a defining chapter in my professional development. Working within a culture that felt both familiar and subtly different allowed me to observe and reflect on how work dynamics can vary across countries.

A major part of my growth came from learning to rely on myself. Moving abroad without speaking the language, organizing every detail of my stay, and adapting to a new company pushed me far outside my comfort zone. Through hands‑on project work and the training I received, especially in PLC and HMI programming, I gained confidence in my ability to understand complex systems and contribute meaningfully. These experiences helped me build a solid technical foundation and encouraged me to take responsibility for my own learning and progress. By the end of the internship, I could interpret commissioning activities with a level of understanding I would not have imagined at the beginning.

What truly elevated this experience, however, was the team environment. My colleagues’ openness, their willingness to answer questions, and the warm atmosphere they created made each challenge feel manageable. Their guidance not only improved my skills but also made me feel welcome from day one. This supportive setting allowed me to grow both professionally and personally, reinforcing the belief that I am on the right career path.

I return home with stronger competencies, increased self‑trust, and a clearer sense of purpose. This internship not only broadened my technical horizon but also strengthened my motivation to bring value to my future roles and approach work with a renewed sense of confidence.
