Panattoni Europe, one of the largest industrial space developers in Europe, reminds students about the upcoming deadline for the “Internship Tailored to Measure with Panattoni Europe” competition. The developer is accepting entries from ambitious students until May 15th.
In March, Panattoni Europe announced a competition for students of logistics and construction faculties from all over Poland. The theme of the “Internship Tailored to Measure with Panattoni” program is the dynamically developing BTS sector, i.e., investments carried out according to the individual needs of clients. The competition is aimed at full-time and part-time students of construction and logistics faculties, or graduates of these specializations who completed their studies in 2008. The competition task is to solve one of two case studies regarding build to suit projects. The first issue concerns the optimization of a warehouse and production project, while the second aims to design a new distribution warehouse for one of the developer’s clients – a press distributor – the company Kolporter SA, which provides courier services under the Kolporter Express brand. The prizes are paid internships at Panattoni Europe and Kolporter SA. The winner will receive the opportunity to complete an internship at a foreign branch of Panattoni Europe.
Students of logistics and construction faculties have highly rated the difficulty level of the competition tasks, treating participation in the competition as a very ambitious and prestigious task.
– The competition tasks are difficult and require considerable knowledge in the field of logistics as well as construction. Despite this, I am glad that I have the opportunity to verify my knowledge in both of these fields and test my skills. I treated entering the competition as an ambitious challenge. The difficulty level of the competition tasks confirms that the organizer treats students seriously – comments Marcin Muszyński, a student at the Military University of Technology. The winning interns will be accepted by the dynamically developing department of Panattoni Europe, dedicated to tailor-made projects.
– Indeed, the competition tasks are not easy. Our goal when creating the case studies was not only to check knowledge in the field of logistics and construction but also the ability to take a comprehensive approach to the presented issue, check the functionality of the proposed solutions, and the innovativeness of the approach – says Marek Foryński, Managing Director of BTS Group at Panattoni Europe. The presented issues illustrate the way the BTS department works, where experts define the needs of tenants and propose solutions that will optimize production and logistics processes and reduce the company’s operating costs.
The internship program began on March 1, 2009, and will last until the end of June 2009. The deadline for submitting competition entries is May 15, 2009. At that time, a jury composed of logistics and construction industry specialists from Panattoni Europe, Kolporter Express, and the Polish Logistics Association will sit down to evaluate the entries. Summer, paid internships at Panattoni Europe and Kolporter SA await the authors of the best solutions, as well as the opportunity to compete for the main prize. For the best intern, a path to an international career opens up – an internship at an international branch of Panattoni Europe. The winners will be able to learn about the company’s structure and participate in managing current BTS projects.
