Our graduate Intern Hawo stated after her internship: "I learned a lot of new things during the internship; I improved my conversation skills and how to communicate people with people from different backgrounds. I learned some computer skills; about DropBox and I participated in many other activities. The internship is very useful because it teaches you how you can reach your goals and your future. It teaches young people how to be independent and strong people.
From my experience during the internship, I can now apply for jobs, I can write a resume and I can do plans for my future, I do presentations with confident and I have so many new skills with me, that can help me in the future."
Hawo sucessfully completed her internship in December 2015.
