My summer internship at Normet is over and it is a good time to sum up the events and experiences of the summer. I had a good time at Normet and found it easy to get involved in the work community. The summer internship was a rewarding and educational experience that provided a lot of valuable lessons for future challenges. I feel lucky to be involved in the Power Apps project, where I got to know the people and practices of different departments and create something new.
It was also nice to see how well the work tasks had been prepared by Normet. With the help of comprehensive background materials and the support of a supervisor, getting on the project was easy and I also got the responsibility to take the project forward. The work suitably offered challenges, but also a lot of feelings of success, which made doing the work meaningful throughout the summer.
Testing the application that I developed during the summer in line production was a successful experiment that provided a lot of new information and ideas for future developments. I was positively surprised at how well the line production workers got involved in application testing and development. Through the collaboration, we made the application as easy to use and informative as possible. My goal, then, was to take the end users of the application well into account and to develop an application that would make sense to use and, at best, bring added value to all parties.
However, my work at Normet does not end there, as I will be able to continue my work on the project, for the wider implementation of the application, and start doing a diploma thesis for Normet at the end of the year. I am really excited about this opportunity and that I can continue to work in such an encouraging and inspiring environment. Based on my experience, I can recommend Normet as an employer to everyone and especially to students who are looking for summer jobs or an internship!
