Part of my final year of international business at The Hague University of Applied sciences is to do an internship. During this engrossing year I was lucky enough to do my internship here at Cuurios. I have followed almost every business related subject during the last 3 years at my university, ranging from human resources to finance to operations management. I always missed a really tech related subject which is quite important in the modern days. I’m really happy I can fulfil that missing piece here at Cuurios.
I applied to do my internship at Cuurios because it is a relatively young, still small sized but growing company. I like this size during this internship because even though I am an intern at Cuurios I am also part of the team and I am really responsible for the tasks assigned to me. Although the pandemic has made us work from home most of the time, I am still able to get proper guidance and plenty of sparring opportunities.
Whilst I’m doing my internship here, Cuurios participates in the Investor readiness program by YES!Delft. It is a really interesting program where I get the opportunity to translate gained knowledge from my study into reality. I help Cuurios to prepare for an acceleration of their business, this ranges from a good company value proposition and pitch to a financial planning and business plan. The tasks are diverse and I’m able to work however I feel best suited while still being coached and questioned which I find is working perfectly.
Outside workhours I like to do sports. I play field hockey myself and train and coach other teams. When the wind is present and there is any time left I’ll be out on the water kitesurfing. During vacation I like to sail and in the winter enjoy the slopes on skis and snowboard.
I’m grateful for this internship opportunity here at Cuurios, I have learned a lot here already and I am sure that many educative experiences will come in the near future.
