I’m 25 years old and from Dresden,
as you will probably hear from my accent, I‘ll try not to make it too *** you.
I studied business engineering at the Technical University of Dresden.
I had my first contact with Bosch during my internship, and came to know Bosch
as a very open and employee oriented company. After graduation I pretty quickly decided
to apply for a job with Bosch and to start my professional career there.
I applied for a management position with Bosch at the time. I attended an assessment center in Stuttgart
and was recommended for a specialist career path. The Graduate Specialist Program was presented to me,
which I had not known at all before. I had a close look at it and considered it to be
quite exciting, because you are practically in another location every six months and also
have the opportunity to look into different departments and units, which I liked very much.
My first stage was in Wernau, where the corporate department manufacturing coordination is located,
that is where practically all lines cross from all plants. I went through a very intensive initial training ,
where I first rotated through all departments and got to know the key people really well.
Now I have been in the beautiful Hess state since January, in Eibelshausen.
I am currently working in a re-organization project in foaming, which involves different issues
such as lean production, material supply, lay-out planning, work place design – these are the things
I am working on in my present stage. Right. And my next stage starting August to the end
of January will be in Manisa, Turkey. I am already very excited about it, because Turkey
with a different culture and mentality will be quite another challenge.
That is the great thing about the program that you can find your orientation and pass through
different stages and can decide during the program in what direction you want to go.
In the program, you get your personal mentor for support.
In our case it is Mr. Jung, I can only say that he is a super mentor, he really is making things happen for us.
And you are also offered a broad range of further education. We have mandatory seminars, on the one hand,
from the technical perspective that is we are being trained in production planning and
quality management, and on the other hand we have, well, I call them soft-skill seminars, to improve and coach
you in presentations and chairing, or project management and personal development.
All I can say is that the program is great fun, you meat a lot of people and start networking, and
I’m really glad that I made this decision.
