Our intern, Kathleen

Since the end of 2021, we’ve had an intern from the FOS working with us at the company, helping out in several departments. As she’s now become part of our team, she’ll be introducing herself to you in our staff interview.

What’s your name and how old are you?

“My name is Kathleen and I’m 16 years old.”

What do you do here and for how long?

“I’m an intern at Nepata Vertrieb GmbH and I’m working in the various departments. I’m here for two internship blocks, each lasting four weeks.

How did you come across Nepata?

“I didn’t know the company before my work placement, but at FOS we had the opportunity to be assigned work placement places. Then I was lucky enough to be assigned to this company.”

Do you have any plans for your future career?

“First of all, I want to get my A-levels at the FOS and then see whether I want to go to university or where my path takes me.”

Which year are you in at the FOS?

“I’m currently in Year 11. If you stay at the FOS until Year 12, you get the vocational A-level, and if you stay until Year 13, you get the standard A-level.”

Which departments have you worked in so far, and which ones are you likely to work in next?

“In the first block, I was in accounts, marketing, purchasing and a bit of a mix of everything. In the second block, I spent two weeks in accounts and will be in sales for the rest of the time.”
