José Pedro da Costa Nunes from Portugal completed his Master studies in Engineering and industrial management and spent 6 months doing an internship as an Industrial engineer in Nitra, Slovakia. We met up with Pedro at the end of his internship just before he got on a flight back to Portugal to ask him how he found his traineeship in Nitra as an Industrial Engineer. As well as the video interview link below (or click on the picture) we also have a full written interview. Now that Pedro has finished, we wish him every bit of success in the future.
