I star­ted working at TecAlliance GmbH just over a year ago. The on­boar­ding en­ab­led me to get to know not only the com­pa­ny but also my col­le­agues. In the pro­cess, I gai­ned a wide va­rie­ty of in­sights into de­part­ments of the com­pa­ny. Of cour­se, I can only talk about ha­ving touch­ed the sur­face a little.

My first de­part­ment was IM (In­for­ma­ti­on Ma­nage­ment) and bet­ween the first two se­mes­ters I was in the Data So­lu­ti­ons Team. I could ex­pe­ri­ence what working in an agi­le way me­ans. I have un­ders­tood, that the re­sult is not only “han­ded in” when it is fi­nis­hed, but the­re is a lot of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on be­fo­re the re­sults come. This meant that I could quick­ly find my feet in this field and I al­ways found an open ear for questions.

The first se­mes­ter star­ted well, de­spi­te Co­ro­na and on­line lec­tures. I met a lot of new peo­p­le. Even though fri­end­ships were built up slow­ly, be­cau­se we did­n’t see each other in per­son, lear­ning groups for­med quick­ly, espe­ci­al­ly for tech­ni­cal mechanics.

Ba­si­cal­ly, both se­mes­ters went like this: on­line lec­tures, stu­dy groups for some lec­tures, every now and then you met up with col­le­agues from the com­pa­ny, be­cau­se hard­ly an­yo­ne from the uni­ver­si­ty had al­re­a­dy mo­ved to Bad Mergentheim.

Du­ring the se­cond prac­ti­cal pha­se, as I had to wri­te my first pro­ject the­sis, I could be­co­me fa­mi­li­ar with the chal­lenges of a Bachelor’s the­sis. And at the same time, I got to know BU Or­der Manager.

The prac­ti­cal pha­ses at TecAlliance have not only ex­pan­ded my know­ledge in the in­di­vi­du­al are­as, but also hel­ped me to de­ve­lop per­so­nal­ly and to grow bey­ond mys­elf. Even though the stu­dy and parts of the prac­ti­cal pha­ses were on­line, I have lear­ned a lot and im­pro­ved my skills in some areas.
