Tim Gutmannsthal, UNI/FH Internship Program

"The team was a feel-good factor!"

Hello, my name is Tim Gutmannsthal and I am currently studying industrial engineering mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology. I am also currently doing the supplementary study Innovation and Entrepreneurship. As my first university intern at K-Businesscom, I gained extremely valuable insights and work experience during my six months. From the beginning, I was seen as a full team member and was always allowed to contribute my own ideas.

Even before I started my internship, I had an inkling that something exciting was in store for me. Even large international companies have to constantly reposition and develop themselves. I was able to contribute to the development of a rapidly growing department and lay a good foundation for the years to come. In the course of this, I was entrusted with a wide variety of tasks and also had the opportunity to work on various projects across departments. In doing so, I was able to support well-known industrial companies with strategic topics in customer projects as well as gain many insights into internal digitization projects. It was also extremely exciting to see how a large international group works and sets itself up internally to be perfectly prepared for the future.

The team was definitely a very big feel-good factor for my internship. All my colleagues were always helpful and made it very easy for me to get started. Also, my knowledge was always challenged and valued. I was able to use my professional experience and university knowledge. Therefore, I left with the knowledge that I had left my fingerprint at K-Businesscom and that I had added value to the company.

I will definitely miss my time at K-Businesscom and my team, but I will also take a lot with me for my future life. Of course, I can't say what the future will bring, but I can well imagine that my professional path will cross with K-Businesscom again. I can only recommend a university internship. You will definitely learn something new and have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in practice!
