Chiara:
OÖ Kulturquartier


My internship at the OÖ Kulturquartier gave me an opportunity to learn more about day-to-day marketing activities at a cultural institution. One particularly constructive aspect was being given the opportunity to contribute and implement my own suggestions and ideas.

Samuel:
ÖAMTC


My internship was very educational and I got constructive feedback from my supervisor about a future career outside of marketing. I worked on actual ad campaigns. There was a strong sense of camaraderie among team members and they made me feel welcome and right at home.

„The Internship Challenge is a win-win for both students and  participating companies.“
