DE INTERNSHIP FROM MARC, MAAIKE & DAVE
Utrecht, June 17 | 4 minutes
There is a time of coming and going. This is also the case with the three trainees who have completed the past five months our team have strengthened. How did Maaike, Marc & Dave experience their internship at Coffee IT? Everyone has experienced the internship in their own way, so everyone likes to tell their own story.
THE STORY OF ANDROID INTERNSHIP MARC
I have spent the past few months on video streaming apps DutchChannels worked. My internship assignment was to add picture-in-picture mode in the android-apps. This makes it possible to watch a movie or series in a small window, while you can have other apps open at the same time. You can reply to a message without having to pause your movie.

The challenge in my internship assignment was mainly in the code that was used to show the video. At first it was unknown whether the video player worked with picture-in-picture mode, but after I tried it it turned out to cause problems. I then tested other video players, after which I selected the best one using a multi-criteria analysis. Then I could start implementing the video player. Finally, I made the picture-in-picture mode: first by drawing up the functional requirements, then by making the design and finally an implementation in the code of the apps.
The best thing about my internship was the pleasant team I was part of. I also learned some things about the readability of my code that weren't covered in college. At school, it is mainly about a clear architecture (for example, the application of clean architecture), but not writing a clear function in the code. The team's documented standards and feedback on the merge requests were most helpful.
THE STORY OF SALES INTERNSHIP MAAIKE
Last months I was a graduation intern of the commerce department within Coffee IT. The open and (especially) the cozy team ensured that the past few months have flown by. Fortunately, we were still able to physically go to the office once a week, which made it extra fun. The research during my internship was mainly aimed at looking at how Coffee IT can deploy a targeted acquisition strategy.
To realize this, the current marketing and sales activities were first analyzed. After deeper research and considerations, an advisory plan for implementing account-based marketing has been drawn up. This was also implemented during my internship period. Fortunately, in addition to various competences in the professional field, I have also been able to develop myself in other competences, including ping pong?.
THE STORY OF MARKETING INTERN DAVE
At the end of last year I came into contact with Coffee IT via the (online) business market of HAN. After a conversation with Fabian, I was convinced that this is the organization where I want to graduate. I have not regretted this choice! Now that I have completed my internship, I can look back on many educational moments and a pleasant time with the team. Despite the circumstances, I have felt involved from day 1. I found the time and energy that Coffee IT puts into creating a strong corporate culture remarkable.

With my internship assignment I aimed to optimize the current landing pages. By means of A/B testing in Google Optimize, I started researching which variables have a positive effect on the behavior of visitors. I applied changes to the following variables: moving image, tone of voice, and more authority. In the end I found a number of elements that ensured that I achieved my goal.
Optimizing the website is never done. So if you think it would be fun to follow up on this, take a look at the online marketing internship vacancy.
In addition to my internship assignment, I also enjoyed taking on tasks within the marketing team. Think of: writing blog posts (like this one), setting up social media campaigns and make cool videos. In my opinion I secretly learned more from this than my internship assignment (don't tell HAN?).
