Interview Manuel

How did you hear about Ingram Micro? How did you find the vocational training?

My older brother told me about Ingram Micro. The employment agency also told me about the vocational training programme. And then I just applied.

What are you looking forward to the most when you go to work? What motivates you?

The variety of tasks you get as a trainee and the colleagues. It's really great working with people.

What is your relationship with your training instructors? Do you learn a lot from them? Are they there for you?

If you have a problem, the training instructors are there for you. I think that's the most you can ask for.

How has the Covid-19 pandemic impacted your vocational training?

Ingram really try to handle this situation as best as they can. Of course, there will always be some people who disagree.

What are you most proud of?

I have only gotten positive feedback from my Area Lead, so I can't complain.

What's your plan once you finished your vocational training? Do you already have a career plan in mind?

It depends on the area – and there's a lot of areas. There are some areas where I wouldn't want to be a Team Lead. But in others I would even like to become Area Lead. Of course it always depends on what opportunities you get, how you do and of course what you think you can do.

Who would not be suitable for the warehouse logistics specialist vocational training? What's something pupils should bring to the table to successfully master the vocational training?

First of all racists – but they're not really welcome anywhere. But selfish people also don't fit in here. You should work together as a team after all.

Being a trainee at Ingram, you should also say your opinion and address problems. A lot of people are shy and don't want to speak up; so you should be more vocal than that.
