I still remember how hopeless I was before joining COOP. I couldn’t pass any internship interviews. Thankfully, I got a chance to transform in COOP. Through this programme, I gained confidence not only in my interview skills, but also in my professional abilities. My placement at Siemens was fantastic. I had a very supportive supervisor and many nice seniors. They were always generous with their time and knowledge and always gave me both career and life advices.

While there were certainly challenges along the way, the experience helped me better understand myself, my capabilities, and my career aspiration. Looking back, my COOP experience was instrumental in helping me grow both professionally and personally.

We have not only gained valuable workplace experience in COOP, but also a new perspective on our personal development.

The fast-paced environment at JnJ MedTech was a big adjustment, and I felt overwhelmed in the first few weeks. I started to spend extra time with my colleagues, asking questions and observing their work processes. I also turned to be more proactive in identifying and solving problems, and was even able to bring a fresh perspective to the table. Despite the initial difficulties, I adapted to the company’s culture, work style and expectations. I was exposed to different approaches to supply chain management. Indeed, I underwent transformative changes throughout the Co-op journey.
