Alstom's internal learning videos and courses are a good way to get an overview of a new topic, process or even a new language. In addition, a lot of new things are learned from experiences of other colleagues and during your own work - learning by doing! Try to pick up what is going on besides your own scope, exchange ideas during during a meeting or lunch time and ask questions. So, see you in the cantine?

Greatest achievements
During my time as a working student at Alstom I wrote my master thesis in a cooperation with the German Aerospace Center about enhancing the battery train operation in winter with heat storages. With this work we applied to the Clean Mobility Award and won. It was a big event in the evening before Innotrans 2022 in Berlin, with two other prizewinners we met inspiring people within the rail industry, therof the German transport minister, which set the start of our networking possibilities. Another inspiring colleague advised me to also apply to the Austrian women rail industry award. I was then invited to Vienna with a prize to take home. None of this would be possible without the intensive support of my colleagues.

It is amazing how the technology is evolving every year, even month. New technologies are always arising and making our lifes easier. What's really important is the need to be aware of this technologies and to be always thinking if these technologies can be applied to the business. This is really important, a new technology correctly applied to a train, fleet, etc. can be the game changer to win a contract. Most of the customers are not yet aware of the power of cloud computing, IoT, AI's etc. It's our job to take advantage of it and propose solutions they've never dreamt of.

In a world where we’re often told to be ourselves, not many of us actually are. My best advice is to genuinely strive to be authentic. It can be difficult and scary, but at the end of the day, we need voices that dare to stand out. That said, be mindful of how you use AI... it’s easy to point out when someone relies too heavily on it. So, when applying for a job or sending emails, use AI primarily as a grammar and spelling check rather than as the main thing! I love to meet the real you soon!
