At the very beginning of June 2019, the group of 13 students from Zespół Szkół Samochodowych in Bydgoszcz came to Malaga to start their one-month internship in the automotive sector working as car mechanics in car workshops located in the city. They were completely aware that this project is their opportunity to get skills and gain experience that will allow them to improve and succeed in their profession.

During their stay in Spain, among many other responsibilities and tasks they were helping with the installation and replacement of car air conditioning, assisting in aligning and repairing wheels, assisting in inspecting and testing new vehicles to detect potential faults, disassembling units such as engines, gearbox etc. using manual or electric tools, performing basic services and repair activities related to car servicing, i.e. oil and filters change, defective parts replacement, washing of the engine and other car components.

After their internship, they had enough knowledge to be able to use diagnostic computers, remove and install diverse components of the engine, clean a propulsion system with the use of a special solvent, perform activities of car servicing such as lubricating, air pressure checking, etc.

Even in their free time, after working hours and on the weekends they participated in many activities improving their language skills, tasting Spanish culture and work up their interest in mechanics and sports. They visited the car museum to discover the previous incarnations of today’s cars, and watch cars created especially for movies. They took part in Tapas Night, where they tasted many of the local specialties. The whole group even had an opportunity to see a football match of Spanish Premier League with other 25 thousand people on the stadium! Finally, they visited Ronda and Gibraltar together with the euroMind team and all those memories will surely stay with them for a long time.
