Orange Educational Program meant for me the baptism into the telecom world. It was a great opportunity to meet professionals from the industry and learn from their expertise. Until being part of this program I had no idea what a mobile operator is really doing. The most important thing I’ve learned is how much a mobile operator can improve the customers’ life through technology and innovation.

When I decided to apply for Orange Educational Program I didn’t know exactly what it means to be an engineer. I had a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I couldn’t “connect the dots”. During the program I discovered an amazing world, where technology meets passion and innovation. Finally I knew what I wanted to do .

It is well known that, in order to achieve your goals and finish your most important projects in life, the start is very important. Orange Education Program meant for me these very important steps for the beginning of my professional experience. It all started 5 years ago, when I was a student at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest and found out about the project, about the possibility to gather technical knowledge from the specialists of Orange Romania. I knew without any doubts that this was a great opportunity that I shouldn’t miss. I could say now, looking back at that time and thinking about the project itself that the decision to participate was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It’s useless to say that I would recommend to everyone to participate at the program.

Orange Educational Program represented a key milestone in my professional development, marking the transition from a pure theoretical base (acquired in the faculty) to a practical foundation for the startup of my career in telecom. By combining crucial knowledge regarding telecommunications networks with typical use cases applied in real networks, the trainings managed to reshape a young student into a junior telecom engineer and smoothen my integration within the Orange family. Orange Educational Program is not only about passing the information, it’s about the people, trainers and students, a specific set of mind and values transfer. It’s about coaching, acquiring new skills and at the end of the day, laying out the first bricks to an exciting career and long term partnership .

It all began in 2007. Sometimes, you are overwhelmed when a new thing comes and you don’t realize the magnitude of the occurrence. But when you get away from it, you ask yourself: “Did it really happen to me?”. This is the way I see the impact of Orange Educational Program on my career. Orange Educational Program was my first reliable compass in my career as a Telecom Engineer. On top of guidance, this program was the best opportunity to meet a great team and work close to the best Romanian specialists in the telecom area. Looking back, I think that talent and chance are the starting points in a successful career. I feel grateful because I was given the chance! Now, the toughest thing about success is that you have to keep on working that talent.
