Medina Toci is a young and bright student
who had the opportunity to be engaged
through AmCham’s Open a Door program
as an intern in Makedonski Telekom, an
experience that is vital for her future career
endowers. She gained team work skills
that enhanced her awareness for prob-
lem solving, conflict resolution and vari-
ous approaches that result in an optimal
decision.
I would describe my
internship at Aptiv as
an excellent experience
which enabled me to
drastically enhance my knowledge
in Surface-Mount Technology (SMT).
Every day I faced new challenges in
the manufacturing process having the
opportunity to learn new things. But
most importantly, I’m very pleased that
I worked in a large team, got insight on
the inter-sector connections and their
problem solving techniques. ” –said
Trajce.
Trajce was also awarded with the Peter
Grossman scholarship after going
through a selection process. Within
this process, Trajce was supported
by Aptiv’s employees who unselfishly
transferred their know-how. Because of
this interesting and challenging intern-
ship possibility, Trajce decided to con-
tinue his internship in Aptiv.

Medina Toci - intern in Makedonski Telekom
I learned so much about
project life-cycle, during the
time spend in Telekom, and
how this concept is imple-
mented in such a large company. I received
an insight on how people develop project
ideas and all the required steps that are
needed for the project to be implemented.”-
said Medina.
Medina was supported by her mentors,
employees in the company, which helped her
in her everyday tasks.
“Don’t overthink! Simply prepare your CV and
apply. Don’t leave things for tomorrow. Apply
today and now!”- Medina tells her peers.
Igor Tasevski is another intern in Makedonski
Telekom, who had the chance to explore his
practical knowledge in this large company.
Through the internship, Igor improved his
communication and organization skills, team
work and time management. He learned how
to foster corporate culture, respect diver-
sity and build strong relations with colleges
based on mutual understanding, respect and
professionalism.
I would emphasize the orga-
nizational setup, the team val-
ues as the basis for achieving
greater work success, then
the professionalism and the labor that the
employees invest in the daily performance of
the tasks, thus raising the value of the com-
pany. I would recommend to all students and
young people to invest in their education,
but also apply the theoretical knowledge into
practice. The labor market is very dynamic
and one should always build upon knowledge
and skills in order to be competitive – advises
Igor.
