Team Leader
Overall, besides improving my project management and presentation skills, I think the biggest lessons learned from Future Leaders are that self-awareness is an essential quality for a good leader and that communication is key to get the expected results; always talk first about the needs and motivation of the key stakeholders.

I would definitely recommend an internship in Michelin to other students, for several reasons. First of all, the work schedule is an accessible one, which does not hinder the activity within the faculty, due to its flexibility. Another important reason is the work environment that allows you to adapt quickly and deliver the best results. During my internship, I had the opportunity to work with people from various teams, who offered their help whenever I needed it, which helped me find out new information about the company.

A Michelin internship gives you the chance to learn new things, to develop your skills, to build a career. It also gives you the opportunity to be part of a community of friendly people and to work in a relaxed atmosphere. As an intern, I understood that everything can be learned. The most important thing is to want and accept the challenges. My teammates are by my side and help me with any ambiguity. From the first day they helped me to integrate quickly, they made me feel like part of a "family".

Accounting Review Junior
In my first days at Michelin I saw that the workplace was safe and well organized; I also saw open and honest communication between the teams. When I met my new colleagues in online meetings, I felt a lot of support from them and their willingness to help me. I was very pleased to see the good planning that made it easy for me to learn and start performing my daily activities.
I feel I have become more adaptable, I found a very supportive team and an interesting activity that helps me to develop and learn new skills.
