“I worked at CEPA for seven months for a mandatory internship as part of my studies in tourism management. I stayed at the accommodation provided by CEPA, which is perfectly suitable.

The introduction to the company and the training for new team members is extremely well organized and practice based.
As a study abroad coordinator, I learned how to organize faculty led programs. I was responsible for several programs which required me to work independently and be part of the entire process. Creating and coordinating schedules is something I always enjoyed, and it has been very useful in my role. However, I have learned the most about efficient communication and time management. This has been vital when consulting with service providers and university partners and will also be a valuable skill in the future.

Luckily, I had the opportunity to welcome one of my study groups in Germany in person, which made my own work more tangible and was a wonderful experience.

The high season was challenging and required flexibility. Like all team members, I sometimes had to find solutions on short notice. This being said, I could always rely on my colleagues for help and guidance. I do not say this lightly, the level of teamwork and mutual support at CEPA is truly exceptional.

My time at CEPA helped me immensely progress on a professional and personal level. I am grateful for this opportunity and that I could learn so much in my time as team member. I would recommend an internship at CEPA to those interested in engaging with people from different backgrounds and creating customized programs that can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for students.” You should be able to take on responsibility and will have the chance to learn from everyone on the team.”
