 Meet Matthijs
My name is Matthijs Otto and I am 17 years old. At the moment I follow the study International Business at the ROC Mondriaan in the Hague. I am doing my internship at the WBII. The Internship is till the 15th of April. I really enjoy my internship at WBII because the work here variates: Looking for sponsors, accounting, invoices, picking up the phone, competitive analysis and my school assignment is setting up market research initiatives.
What I would like to learn from the internship is how the organization does their marketing and communication. One thing I really think is useful for the future is the networking. I already met a lot of business people and professionals. In the future I would like to set up my own business somewhere abroad, for example in the USA. That's the reason why I choose for the study: International Business.
