1.?Tell us about your job at Storopack.?

I have been with Storopack since the end of 2019. In my dual study program, I go through many commercial departments as well as digitization-related departments such as Corporate IT or E-Commerce in Hamburg. In the departments, I often get to accompany exciting projects, which I really enjoy.

2.?What does a typical working day look like?

That depends on whether I'm in a theoretical or practical phase. During a theoretical phase, I study at the dual university in Stuttgart. There we usually have two lectures in one day. The theoretical phases are intended to prepare me for practical work at Storopack. In these so-called practical phases, I'm in a department at Storopack, I'm trained there and work on day-to-day tasks or projects.

3.?What do you particularly like about your role?

A clear advantage of the dual study program is the combination of theory and practice. I also really like the course of study, which is geared toward the future. I have the feeling that business people who are well versed in some of the topics of digitization are well equipped for the future.

On the one hand, of course, the completion of my studies. But on the other hand also the colleagues I get to work with to achieve a goal.
