Admire Bongani Khulumo, a Computer Science and Software Engineering student from Botswana International University of Science and Technology, joined Volvo Cars in Sweden through IAESTE. During his internship, he contributed with programming skills and a fresh perspective, while also gaining valuable insights from colleagues in other fields. The open and collaborative work culture at Volvo gave him the independence to take responsibility for his tasks and grow as a professional.
For Volvo, hosting an international trainee meant access to new ideas and an enthusiastic team member eager to learn and contribute. For Admire, it was an opportunity to apply his knowledge in a real-world setting, discover new technologies, and experience everyday life in a different country. From the workplace to small cultural discoveries, the exchange has been a rewarding journey for both sides.
– and make friends for life!
