Confident and satisfied with who she is...   Osney Naris is a star at Pupkewitz Megabuild and a glittering beneficiary of our Graduate Programme. Naris graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and an Honour’s in degree Business Management. She lives by Gandhi’s code: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.” The internship provided her with a real-world view of logistics and supply chain management within the company’s (very large) operational framework. Naris says she “had the opportunity and sufficient exposure to observe and engage with various departments during my tenure but I was never limited to focus on what was aligning with my interests.” This was the best part of the programme for her – it allowed sufficient room to learn outside her field but at the same time allowed her to focus on her direct interests. All of this took place under the firm and wise hand of mentorship and guidance. “The design is such that it significantly impacted my career advancement.” However, the programme is designed to not only offer experience in the given career choice, it also enhances and develops softs skills. Naris says this was invaluable. “I have recognized the importance of soft skills, including communication, teamwork, leadership, and adaptability. These skills are crucial for success in the logistics industry, where collaboration and effective communication are often key to overcoming challenges. Skills are of critical importance for employability. Attending workshops, seminars and mentorship programmes are essential for graduates to refine career goals and to develop a strategic career plan, improving and enhancing employability. “The programme instils a habit of continuous learning so now I stay informed about the developments of my field of study, ensuring I remain relevant and adaptable throughout my career.” And about that continuous learning, Naris says there’s nothing she would change about herself. Confident and a go-getter, she is blessed to be that self-assured in her own skin and content with who she is! #Graduate #SucessStories #Procurement

Supply chain is at the heart of every business. It’s this system of organisations, people, activities, information and resources that moves products from supplier to customer. Without a supply chain, business would not be able to function. Looking to grow your team? Our Supply Chain Practitioner #Apprenticeship may be what you are looking for.

URGENT HELP NO LONGER NEEDED - THANK YOU A contact of mine, Peter Corbishley of Principia School of Language, runs a programme for apprentices with BASF in Germany to visit Worcester for a month. This involves an internship with a local business for a month or split between two businesses. 2 of the 3 apprentices arriving shortly already have placements (with Southco) but he needs a placement for the 3rd apprentice. Accommodation and the cultural/social sides of the visit are already organised. The apprentices arrive on 2nd March. The apprentice is called Jan Ströbel (aged 20) and his introductory letter is below. Please message me if you can help (or know someone that can) and I'll put you in touch with Peter. It would be a great shame if the Worcestershire business community cannot find something useful for this young guy to do during his visit from Germany.

I believe that an immersive experience in an English-speaking environment will provide me with the ideal setting to improve my language proficiency. Moreover, Worcester is the perfect place with its rich history and vibrant culture for personal development. I am excited of exploring the city with its residents to gain a deeper understanding for the local culture. This experience will expand my horizon and provide valuable insights which I will take with me when I return to Germany. Thanks to my work experience at BASF SE Ludwigshafen and the different departments I worked in, I gained skills in commercial activities. I learned project management by preparing and holding online conferences with international partners from BASF. I gained skills in marketing by working at trade fairs in a HR department and thereby convinced people to apply to BASF. In Supply Chain Management I conducted routine tasks like transport booking and working directly with international partners every day. In my free time, I like to go to the gym, meet up with my friends and like to travel. Besides that I have a passion for cars because of their history, technology and the joy of driving. I went to many car museums like Porsche in Stuttgart, Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart and BMW in Munich to learn more about different car models, the technology and the brand itself or researched the information by myself (via videos, internet etc.). Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Jan Ströbel
