THE EXPERIENCE OF 13 IT TECHNICIANS AND ADMINISTRATIVES IN MALAGA

At the beginning of april, a group of 13 students from Třinec, Czech Republic, were hosted by euroMind in Malaga to gain a 3-weeks internship as Administrative Assistant and IT technician.
Each student got a unique experience and they were working in two different host companies and positions.

In the administrative field, students had the opportunity to acquire new skills in document management and creation using computer tools to perform in general office duties. Thus they were able to process sales invoices, receipts and payments or to research prices and purchasing office supplies. They also learned how to read, understand and classify financial paperwork. In addition to perform on software, they develop their professional ability to meet customer needs, providing them a professional, courteous and friendly response.

For the other part, IT technicians, they were able to develop and enrich their knowledge in the field of hardware by having the opportunity to repair, replace, examine and diagnostic hardware. In this way, they learned how to do a checking for the electrical connections of the various hardware components but also recognize the different components in a computer.

At first, trainees were visiting the Malaga city center. In fact, Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world. The tour passed by ruins from The Roman, Moorish and Christian civilizations including various monuments of the city.

They had the opportunity to discover the city of Mijas. This place is known for its “white towns.”, a mountain hamlet famous for its donkey taxis, breathtaking views, and quaint streets. In the city, the trainees could participate in a chocolate-making activity and take a sweet gift home with them.

Students also went to Benalmadena, where the Colomares Castle was built to honor Cristóbal Colón’s discovery of the American continent. It’s fascinating to learn about the materials used to construct the castle: brick, stone, and cement. The journey was rich in impressions, sights, stairs, and delights.

During their stay, students received proper Spanish courses from our Spanish teacher, and we placed a strong emphasis on practice, therefore students play a lot in class since we believe that the game is the best teacher. When it comes to characterizing Spanish classes, two features come to mind: dynamic and practical. As a result, following a time of hard and tough study, the students were required to write a test. Every single one of the participants achieved a perfect score!
