During my 3-month internship at Osaka World , I had the opportunity to greatly expand my knowledge and put the theory from my International Business studies at Karel de Grote Hogeschool into practice. Looking back, it has been an incredible experience where, from day one, I truly felt part of the team. Throughout this internship, I gained valuable hands-on experience across multiple departments. I had the chance to attend athlete sponsorship meetings, help prepare marketing events across the Benelux region, and participate in these events on-site with the Euro Hockey Finals in ’s-Hertogenbosch as one of the highlights. In addition, I deepened my understanding of international logistics and closely followed the entire process. Every day brought new insights and taught me to approach challenges from different perspectives. A special thank you to Niels Van Raemdonck for sharing his knowledge and expertise with me, and to the entire Osaka World team for the trust, support, and valuable lessons that I will carry with me throughout my professional career.
