Sanne
“My internship at Ophelix has given me the opportunity to be an employee in the industry instead of an intern. The time they invested in me was truly amazing and has given me a lot. Actually being treated as an employee of the company in a very pleasant and fun team to work with, has helped me grow professionally. The responsibilities that come with the job helped me to develop skills as planning and communicating. Skills I was not even aware about that there was still so much to develop in. After this meaningful and educational internship, I feel more prepared for what the future holds!” – Sanne Berende, Breda University of Applied Science, The Netherlands.

Auriane
“When I was working at Ophelix as a Project Assistant, I did researches on venues and suppliers, client briefings, PPT presentations, online registrations, and different administrative tasks. I learned how to deal with project management in the world of events, taking the necessary time to meet client’s needs, being responsible and anticipate every option with suppliers. I would definitely recommend applying for an internship at Ophelix. There’s no better school than working on a real project itself and the team always does its best to meet the market’s expectations.” – Auriane Grésillon, IAE of Grenoble, France
Rose
“Working at Ophelix I was able to learn and improve on a vast range of skills, whilst being supported by my coworkers. These skills included problem solving, communication and leadership. My confidence grew massively throughout my 6 months, and I found that after a while I was really able to take ownership of my work. It was definetly the first time I really felt independent. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone studying in the events/travel industry, it’s a step into the real working world!” – Rose Tholen, Falmouth University, UK
Franziska
“My internship at Ophelix provided me with valuable hands-on experience in the MICE field. I was able to get to know all parts of the job – working on a client request, shaping a proposal, discussing the details and finally arranging the event for the client. It gave me a better idea about what skills and knowledge I should further improve in my studies. During my internship I was able to work independently on different projects and was thereby able to take over responsibility for my own tasks. I also enjoyed being part of an international team, that works together closely in a great working environment.” – Franziska Pabel, FH Westküste, Germany.
Léa
“I have made a 6-months internship at Ophelix Sweden in Stockholm and it has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences that I have done! I met great people, learned a lot about working in teams, helping each other, being multi-tasking. I definitely increased my writing and speaking English level thanks to communicating with colleagues, clients and providers. Being on event sites taught me to have an overwiew over the projects you daily work on. I can highly recommand Ophelix as a company where you can grow up profesionnaly and personnaly.” » – Léa Berthomé, IAE Chambéry, Université Savoie Mont Blanc, France

Francesca
“I have worked at Ophelix Scandinavia in Oslo for six months covering the role of Project Assistant. It was a unique experience; working for this company is very constructive for anybody who would like to be in contact with an international environment and get your hands on many different tasks.

I would encourage anyone interested in the MICE industry to apply for such an experience, it will give you a great chance of growing both personally and professionally.” Francesca Tantillo, NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences.
