Laura Risum, Intern at Clipper

“I think, people are super nice and welcoming at Clipper. It is really nice to work in a ‘small’ office, as you get to meet everyone in the organization, and with that a better understanding of other departments. You get included in everything from the beginning, and learning experiences are highly prioritized. For an example, during our first weeks of the internship, we went to see a ship and met the crew onboard.

It is also cool, that the terms we learn about, during the bachelor, are being executed throughout the work we do at Clipper. That approach enhances my learning, as it is much easier, to understand in practice instead of just reading about it.

I would definitely recommend Clipper to future interns. It is a great workplace, that focuses on work environment, social initiatives, learning, and creating understanding throughout several departments. They provide the opportunity, to try different things and find out what you feel most comfortable with. Meanwhile, you will get to work with a lot of amazing colleagues that are always ready to help.”
