Internship report Jakob Niederhofer Teil 1
Working at GNA
What does a typical day/week look like during your internship?
"There is no such thing as a typical day. I am involved in many projects at the same time. So every day is different. In my opinion, that's exactly what makes an internship exciting. I have various meetings with colleagues from the USA and also with colleagues from Kreuztal. We are in constant communication. In the last few weeks, colleagues from Germany even came to Roanoke for a working visit. At the weekend we went on a great hike in the Appalachian Mountains. That was very cool!"
What projects are you working on? Or do you just have to make coffee :-) ?
"Fortunately, I don't just have to make coffee. For example, we are currently working on expanding the logistics infrastructure at our site in Roanoke to improve GEORG's expansion in the North American market. I can play an active role here as well as in various lean production and lean management projects and, in particular, I can coordinate closely with the headquarters in Kreuztal."

Young talent made by GEORG: We are delighted with our dual student Reinmar Pankratz, who has achieved a great Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.

We congratulate you on your excellent degree and are delighted that we will be able to actively support you during your Master's degree.
Congratulations to Simon Weber (DS Mechanical Engineering) 2024

Jakob Niederhofer's internship report at GNA
My name is Jakob, I am 20 years old and I completed my six-month internship at GEORG's subsidiary in Roanoke/USA. I was born near Koblenz. After graduating from high school, I moved to Reutlingen near Stuttgart to complete my engineering degree (International Project Engineering). This study program has an international focus. Now it was time to put what I had learned in theory to the test.
The USA was particularly appealing to me, as I had never been there before and I also took the opportunity to improve my English there, which would benefit me in the further course of my studies.
