Sabrina

Scholarship holder at Festo 2023/2024.

"Already at the age of 12, when I was working technically and manually together with my father, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in engineering. My BOGY internship in the technical field confirmed my desire to become an engineer. The scholarship not only gave me the opportunity to write my master's thesis at Festo in the LifeTech area but also provided me with a valuable mentor who supported and guided me. Thanks to the scholarship, I received a job offer and was able to start full-time at Festo immediately. For all women in the master's program, the scholarship is a great opportunity to get to know Festo, gain practical insights, and pave the way for a successful career in engineering."
