I recently graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in International Technical Sales at the University of Cergy-Pontoise. Now, I am currently a student in master\u2019s Management and International Business. My internship at Schneider Electric France will last one year. I have the opportunity to work in a Global Marketing department. I am glad to learn more about the many different aspects of Marketing, in an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2018\/12\/12\/meaningful-early-career-journey-with-schneider-electric-through-international-experience\/\">international environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My main coworkers are experts from Digital Communities. In my day to day activities my main role is to find different animation plans in the specific area of Digital Competency. The objective is to explore and acquire new skills from our experts and share their knowledge in the company. For that, I work closely with the Head of Digital Communities. We benchmark and brainstorm on what can be useful for the experts, and organize different action plans.<\/p>\n<p>So basically, I am working with six communities: Digital Channel Management, Product experience &amp; offer data, Content, DCX leaders, Search, Digital Demand Generation. I have this unique opportunity to learn many aspects of digital customer experience. Moreover I learn different work methods which allows me to skyrocket my productivity and learning.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Career development<\/h4>\n<p>How Schneider is helping me grow as professional?\u00a0 First of all, Schneider Electric has a matrix structure, so I have an overview of the operation of the company and the interaction between the businesses. Even though I am on internship, Schneider Electric allow apprentices to have a lot of responsibilities, and it allows me to me be more confident in my work. Furthermore, I am very autonomous in my work and I observed that most of the managers allow interns to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2018\/12\/11\/empowering-people-to-manage-their-unique-life-and-work\/\">organize their work and manage their tasks themselves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After that, working at Schneider Electric offers many assets: it is\u00a0a global company, so it provides an open and stimulating environment. Being a part of an international company makes you acquire cross-cultural communication skills. It is an advantage for us to work on common projects with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2019\/01\/02\/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-intern\/\">interns in Hong-Kong<\/a> and Foxboro Hubs. We acquire managerial and intercultural skills. In addition, working at Schneider helps me to improve my capacity to adapt in a changing environment.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-53732\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Karen-2-e1546602818884.jpg\" alt=\"Karen in her office at Paris Hub\" width=\"315\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Karen-2-e1546602818884.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Karen-2-e1546602818884-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Karen-2-e1546602818884-768x1022.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Karen-2-e1546602818884-770x1024.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/careers\/why-schneider-electric.jsp\">Why work at Schneider Electric?<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Above all, Schneider Electric is a company where the human aspect is a priority. They are conscious of environmental protection and always offer career opportunities for their employees.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, SE aligns with my values, specifically the company\u2019s value of: Learn Everyday. Schneider invests in different tools which allows us to learn more and more (eLearning, conferences, applications\u2026). Another point that makes me proud to work for Schneider Electric is the awareness for the environment. We bring energy and efficiency to enable life, progress and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/sustainability\/\">sustainability for all<\/a>. Furthermore, I\u2019ve never seen a company where people are from everywhere and everyone is put on an equal footing.<\/p>\n<p>My internship will be a valuable experience which I will grow and complete other competencies like techniques and methodology within Global Marketing. Therefore I look forward for what is to come and for new opportunities to arise during this internship!<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53653 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Web-Banner_Great-PEOPLE_1200x630.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Web-Banner_Great-PEOPLE_1200x630.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Web-Banner_Great-PEOPLE_1200x630-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Web-Banner_Great-PEOPLE_1200x630-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Web-Banner_Great-PEOPLE_1200x630-1024x538.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Check out similar opportunities with us at our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/careers\/overview.jsp\">Careers page<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Schneider Electric Careers on Social Media<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SchneiderElec\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33650\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Twitter-Logo.png\" alt=\"Schneider Electric Careers - Twitter\" width=\"70\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Twitter-Logo.png 1259w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Twitter-Logo-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Twitter-Logo-768x625.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Twitter-Logo-1024x833.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 70px) 100vw, 70px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SchneiderElectric?brandloc=DISABLE\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33971\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Facebook-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Schneider Electric Careers Facebook\" width=\"63\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Facebook-Logo.jpg 336w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Facebook-Logo-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Facebook-Logo-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Facebook-Logo-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 63px) 100vw, 63px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/schneider-electric\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33648\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo.png\" alt=\"Schneider Electric - LinkedIn\" width=\"62\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/LinkedIn-Logo-125x125.png 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 62px) 100vw, 62px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/schneiderelectric\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-48029\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/instagram-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/instagram-logo.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/instagram-logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/instagram-logo-125x125.png 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 64px) 100vw, 64px\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2019\/01\/17\/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-intern-3\/\">A Day in The Life of An Intern &#8211;
