GlobalFoundries and Systema: Polish students gain practical experience in Dresden technology companies

November 3, 2025. From October 13 to 24, 2025, twelve students from the Polish school CKZiU “Elektryk” from Nowa Sól completed their vocational internship in Dresden – for the third year as part of an Erasmus+ mobility program. The school combines vocational and general education, making it the equivalent of a German vocational high school. After two years focusing on software development, the focus in 2025 was also on mechatronics for the first time: six students worked at Systema GmbH in the field of software and six at GlobalFoundries in mechatronics.

At Systema, the young people learned about the entire software development cycle – from specification and implementation to testing and documentation.

“We learned things that will make our lives in software programming easier. The time here in Dresden is just great,” said Michał Kabziński from CKZiU “Elektryk”. Instructor Johannes Postel added: “We provided a practical insight into how software is created in industrial environments.” 

The mechatronics internship at GlobalFoundries offered insights into mechatronic systems, power supply and robotics – partly in direct exchange with German trainees. “I really liked the professional working environment and how helpful the employees were. I also found it exciting to see how advanced the technology in semiconductor production is,” reports Alex Pabisek. Kajetan Wojnarowski adds: “The internship showed me that mechatronics is a very important profession – and that semiconductors are the future of technological development.” 

“The students knew what they were doing – they exceeded my expectations,” praised Theo Krüger, trainer at GlobalFoundries. Cornelia Löwe (GlobalFoundries) emphasized: “The young people were excellently prepared, motivated and technically adept.” 

The cooperation between the two companies and the school from Nowa Sól was initiated via Silicon Saxony. Silicon Saxony has supported the exchange since the beginning with the idea of strengthening the international promotion of young talent and the development of skilled workers in the Saxon high-tech industry.”

Last year, Polish teenagers were able to gain valuable practical experience at SYSTEMA. We presented the project and its success in an article at the time.
