Apprentice Statement
My name is Benedikt and I was an apprentice for office management at sequa gGmbH from 2015 to 2018.
In the course of my three-year apprenticeship I passed through all departments of the company. During this time I got to know my field of work in a very practical way and from the very beginning I took on tasks on my own responsibility. In so-called "apprentice interviews" I was able to interview my colleagues in order to gain more insight into the diverse projects at sequa.
My main fields of work were accounting, controlling and assistance. Here I was responsible for a wide variety of tasks ranging from formatting contracts, organising events, booking invoices to auditing travel expense reports. At sequa I was trained fairly and supported on my way: For example, I was allowed to take part in a three-week learning stay in London, where I was able to use and significantly improve my English skills.
After the successful completion of my training, I had the opportunity to support sequa as a junior controller while studying for a B.A. degree in economics. Since 2019 I have been employed as a controller in sequa’s project controlling.

As an Intern at sequa
My name is Svenja and I was able to get to know and support the management of programmes and projects at sequa gGmbH during a voluntary internship in spring 2021.
From the first day of my three-month internship, I was involved in projects and tasks and got to know the everyday tasks, but also challenges of project managers in internal meetings, which were conducted via tools such as Teams and Zoom due to the pandemic. In personal meetings, there was always time to ask questions and to get more deeply acquainted with individual topics of development cooperation or the cooperation between sequa, donors and project partners.
My tasks were very diverse and exciting, as my colleagues involved me in very different projects. For example, I contributed to the preparation of annual reports, compared target indicators of projects with monitoring evidence and collected, evaluated and adapted suitable references for applications for new projects for the specific case. I accompanied the preparations of a virtual intensive training in Asia, took care of the social media presence of mobility programmes and searched for experts for short-term assignments and accompanied the further recruitment process.
For me, the internship was a great enrichment and a valuable, very practical addition to my studies. I was able to learn a lot through the collegial working atmosphere.
