“As a student, I get the freedom to pursue my own projects, drive them forward, and include stakeholders around the organisation. You learn fast when your managers consider you a regular employee, and not just one who brews the office coffee. Working in Front-end Innovation, I get to be part of the concept development of new FOSS solutions. I contribute to the work on product requirements, UX research, and the proof of concept of new products. I get my hands on quite a lot of different projects, which is exciting as two days are never the same.”

“As an intern in the Meat segment at FOSS, I am part of an innovative project team. I’ve had the freedom of setting my own learning goals: programming, learning about food safety in the meat industry, hygienic design, field test planning and the likes. My team helps me achieve these goals, and working interdisciplinary is both fun and rewarding. During my 5 months internship, I have gotten a much better understanding of what it means to be an engineer. The one thing I would highlight about FOSS is the great working culture: I have not yet met a colleague, who wasn’t eager to help me in one way or another.”

Ellen Patricia Krenk, Intern, Meat segment, B.Eng.Food quality and safety

“I had the opportunity to do my Masters project at FOSS in close collaboration with the Data and Algorithms team (D&A). In no time I became part of a team that holds a high level of experience and competences specifically within chemometrics and data-analysis. Being at FOSS I had the chance of exploring real-world data combined with advanced machine learning algorithms. I would definitely recommend all students to write their thesis within a company like FOSS as this provides insight into how important interdisciplinary work across different departments in order to deliver high quality solutions.”

“A global company like FOSS gives me as a trainee many opportunities for further development both professionally but also personally. As a trainee, the focus is on your development, and you act on equal terms with your colleagues. You get responsibility, independent tasks, but also take part in projects so you feel like part of the team. I wanted to study HD at CBS at the same time as my time as a trainee and that opportunity is offered by FOSS.”

Nicklaes Mårtensen, Office Trainee
