As a student at KEA, you work closely with the business community from day 1 - not least by virtue of the internship. Now the students can nominate the coolest internship companies for KEA Internship of the Year.
A lot of companies recognise the students by offering them jobs after the internship. And, again this year, the students can recognise their internship company by nominating it for KEA Internship of the Year.
Students who have interned in the autumn of 2019 or in the spring of 2020 can nominate.
The deadline for nominations is on March 15 at 12:00. In early April, the names of the five nominees will be published, and on 22 April, the winner of KEA Internship of the Year will be announced.
Last year Mikkel Grenaa Larsen and Vestergaard Company won KEA Internship of the Year.
Mikkel Grenaa Larsen, who studied Automation Engineering, thrilled the jury with his honest and personal reflections and his development:
"Vestergaard has had the energy to develop him - he has been coached to solutions; he has not had them handed to him on a plate. It is a huge company and yet he is allowed, among other things, to design and develop a dashboard for a new electric car. Which he does brilliantly. It's pretty cool."
"It meant a lot to us to get such appreciation, because it's about preparing the interns for the future," said Carsten Mandal from Vestergaard Company:
"In general, we attach great importance to arranging an internship in such a way that it meets the wishes and goals of the interns. At the same time, it also means a lot to us that the tasks the interns carry out provide value to us. We want the interns to be part of the team and to provide solutions to the tasks on an equal footing with the rest of the team. In this way, having interns becomes a win-win situation. What more could you want?"
The winner of KEA Internship of the Year 2020 will proceed to the national competition, which will be held on 19 May 2020 at Børsen (The Stock Exchange building) in Copenhagen.

Rigtig mange virksomheder anerkender de studerende ved at tilbyde dem job efter praktikken. Og nu kan de studerende igen i år anerkende deres praktiksted ved at indstille virksomheden til Årets KEApraktik.
Det er studerende, som har været i praktik i efteråret 2019 eller foråret 2020, der kan nominere.
Der er deadline for indstillinger den 15. marts kl.12. I begyndelsen af april offentliggøres de fem nominerede og 22. april bliver vinderen af Årets KEApraktik offentliggjort.
Sidste år vandt Mikkel Grenaa Larsen og Vestergaard Company Årets KEApraktik.
Mikkel Grenaa Larsen, der studerede til Automationsteknolog, begejstrede juryen med sine ærlige og personlige reflektioner, og den udvikling han havde gennemgået:
”Vestergaard har udvist overskud til at udvikle ham - han er blevet coachet til løsninger, han har ikke fået dem serveret. Det er et kæmpe firma og alligevel får han lov til blandt andet at designe og udvikle et instrumentbræt til en ny elbil. Hvilket han nailer. Det er ret sejt.”
”Det betød meget for os at få sådan en bekræftelse, for det handler om at ruste praktikanterne til fremtiden,” lød det fra Carsten Mandal fra Vestergaard Company:
”Generelt lægger vi stor vægt på at forme et praktikforløb sådan, at det imødekommer de ønsker og mål praktikanterne har. Samtidig betyder det også meget for os, at de opgaver praktikanterne udfører, giver værdi for os. Vi ønsker, at praktikanterne kan indgå i teamet som enhver anden, der hvor de er nu, og kan bidrage med løsninger til opgaverne på lige fod med resten af teamet. På den måde bliver det at have praktikanter en win-win situation. Hvad mere kan man ønske sig?”
Vinderen af Årets KEApraktik 2020 går videre til den nationale konkurrence, der bliver afgjort den 19. maj i Centralværkstedet i Aarhus.
