Students Unite – Connect & Develop
The visit of SWPS university students to Foodcom’s office was an extraordinary learning experience that combined theory and practice, opening the door for young people to the fascinating world of the Commodity industry, but also to career opportunities in other positions within the company. The entire event presented itself under the name “Students Unite – Connect & Develop.”
Company presentation
The meeting began with a gathering of participants at the company’s headquarters in Warsaw, where students had the opportunity to meet and share their first impressions before the official part of the visit began. The participants then set off on a tour of the office, learning about the daily work of the team and the company’s atmosphere and culture.
During the company’s presentation, students learned about the company’s history, mission and major achievements. This was an excellent introduction to the day’s topic, which focused on shaping a career path. During a group discussion led by experienced employees, students had the opportunity to share their ideas and dreams, and learn what skills are most valuable on the job market. Participants also learned about Foodcom’s social commitment. The company actively supports local communities through charitable programs and education-related initiatives. Foodcom’s mission is not only to achieve business success, but also to create a positive impact on society and the environment.
The students also had the opportunity to learn what skills are particularly valued in particular areas, which further enriched the discussion on career path formation. The variety of perspectives allowed the students to see how many career opportunities Foodcom offers.
Meeting With a Special Guest
One of the most inspiring moments was the invitation of special guest Veena Kapadia. During the interview, she told her story of finding her first job in Poland, providing valuable insights and inspiration to all present. She also touched on the importance of finding one’s own career path, despite the obstacles that arise – after all, the most important thing is to work in a profession that one truly enjoys and derives satisfaction from daily activities and completed projects. The students also had the opportunity to ask some questions and inquire about advice for those who are just beginning the search for their dream job.
After a lunch break, participants attended a workshop on how to make a successful start in the job market. Foodcom employees shared their experiences and gave practical tips on how to successfully cope with the first moments in a new workplace.
Knowledge test
The final stage of the visit was a short test that allowed students to assess whether their values and skills resonate with Foodcom’s organizational culture. This is not only a test of knowledge, but also a chance to consider whether the company is a place where they would like to develop their careers. Special prizes awaited those who showed special knowledge of the company.
The meeting ended with an official conclusion, during which the students had the opportunity to thank the organization, express their impressions and share their reflections. The students’ visit to the Foodcom office is not only an interesting cognitive experience, but also an inspiring moment that can have an impact on shaping the future career paths of young people. Once again, we proved that education outside the walls of a university can have a real impact on the development of young talents.
