I, Miha Gartnar, a former apprentice – a toolmaker at SC Škofja Loka, the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering, had the opportunity to gain practical experience as part of my education in the programme of mechanical engineering. My internship took place at the company Motor Jikov in Sobeslav, Czech Republic, from January to March 2020 and again in October 2021 due to covid-19. This internship was organized by my school, Šolski center Škofja Loka, in cooperation with our partner school SPŠ Tabor and the company. During my time in the Czech Republic, I gained valuable technical knowledge related to my field, enhancing my skills in machinery and engineering processes.
Working in a foreign country had a significant impact on my personal development. I learned basic Czech, which improved my communication skills, and I adapted to a new work environment, making me more independent and responsible. This experience also strengthened my sense of diligence and taught me the importance of attention to detail in my work. It helped me become more self-reliant, able to handle challenges on my own, and take responsibility for my tasks.
For future generations, I highly recommend taking advantage of such opportunities. Not only will you gain practical knowledge and experience, but you will also grow as an individual, learning to be adaptable and confident in new situations. It is a chance to broaden your horizons, both professionally and personally.
