Marek’s love for cars started in his childhood. After 3 semesters of hard work, applying for an internship at Skoda seemed to be the perfect match. ”I was a fan of cars since I was a little boy, thanks to my father who would take my brother and me to different car shows in Czech Republic or abroad. Although I have never owned a car, I still feel very close to the automotive industry,” explains Marek.
Working with kind and helpful people
Marek’s internship takes place in Skoda’s International Sales Department for Western Europe. He is supporting the key account managers for markets such as Portugal, Malta, Cyprus and Canary Islands. He works production and sales and communication importers as well as with helping with gathering materials for planning a production and making weekly or monthly reports for regional managers.
“So far the experience is great. I work with kind, helpful and friendly people, in a nice environment where I can apply my theoretical knowledge in practice with the support of so many competent people around me. Through this internship, I get to learn about professional communication, teamwork as well as business culture. I feel pleased and happy about my internship,” says Marek.
