Work experience is a great opportunity to gain an insight into the world of work, to experience what different career choices might mean first hand, and to see what it’s like working at ROCKWOOL.
You might still be at school or college, or perhaps beginning your search for employment – either way, if you would like to further your experience, then a short placement with us could boost your CV.
Why did you choose ROCKWOOL for your work experience?
I chose to my work experience at ROCKWOOL because I am currently taking Business Studies
For my GCSE’s and wanted to see what it would be like to work in a large, popular company. I wanted to see for myself how a large factory business operated and how different departments work together.
What departments did you spend time in?
During my work experience I spent time with lots of different departments and these were, Customer Services, Technical Department, Technical Insulation Department, Purchasing and Product Management
What did you like about your work experience with ROCKWOOL?
I enjoyed working with the Customer Services team as it was interesting to see how they managed and dealt with ROCKWOOL customers. Everybody within the team was also very friendly.
Can you tell us something you learned whilst you were with us?
I leant about how ROCKWOOL is made using volcanic rock and that is used as insulation in many areas of a building. I learnt how to process an order and input this into the customer service system. I was also shown how customer services book logistics for delivering products.
