I´m Cátia Neves and I´m a 12th grade student at FORAVE. I study Management and Administration and this is my last year at school. During this last year I have to work in a company for some time (420 hours). It´s my traineeship. I think a traineeship is very important because we can contact with the reality of the world of work and we can acquire new skills and develop the ones we got at school. This year I`m working at Moveltor a company which makes furniture for the internal market but also for some clients abroad. My working hours are from 9 to 5, so I work 7 hours a day. I have different tasks during my trainee working day. First, the manager of the company gives me some information about the work I have to do. After that I deal with all sort of documents like invoices, quotes, receipts and others. I also answer phone calls and receive clients. Sometimes I have to go to the bank, to the post office or to the Tax Office. I can also visit suppliers and clients. It´s a hard day of work but also a very rewarding one because I think I learn a lot and I feel I will be prepared to face the real world of work and to be a successful manager.
