The time in the Trai­nee-Of­fice 2024 has come to an end. Alt­hough it was shor­ten­ed due to fe­wer trai­nees and stu­dents stay­ing with the com­pa­ny for an ex­ten­ded pe­ri­od, it was an en­ri­ching ex­pe­ri­ence. Sin­ce start­ing in Sep­tem­ber, we’ve had the pri­vi­le­ge of spen­ding time in the Trai­nee-Of­fice, whe­re we gai­ned inva­luable know­ledge and hands-on ex­pe­ri­ence. Over the past two weeks, we del­ved into Py­thon, ex­plo­red the ba­sics of SQL and Pan­das, lear­ned pro­ject struc­tu­ring, and, of cour­se, mas­te­red the es­sen­ti­als of Git.

We had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to ap­p­ly our skills th­rough en­ga­ging tasks and pro­jects, in­clu­ding a car­poo­ling API that al­lows users to of­fer and search for ri­des, sa­ving the data into a CSV sheet for fu­ture re­fe­rence. This pro­ject was a ma­jor high­light and hel­ped us shar­pen both our pro­gramming and pro­blem-sol­ving skills.

The at­mo­sphe­re in the Trai­nee-Of­fice was al­ways po­si­ti­ve, fos­te­ring open com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on and idea-sha­ring among trai­nees and stu­dents. Our trai­ners were ap­proacha­ble and pro­vi­ded inva­luable sup­port, of­fe­ring in­sightful ad­vice and sha­ring sto­ries from their own experiences.

As we look back, we feel proud of how much we’­ve lear­ned in such a short time. Now, we’re ex­ci­ted for the next pha­se of our jour­ney as we ro­ta­te into new teams and take on fresh chal­lenges in the months ahead.
