Tomáš Pazour, from Žďár Gymnasium, has been with ICE for quite some time. He joined an automation camp last summer and was part of a PLC programming course during the school year. These experiences encouraged him to secure a summer internship with ICE. He relaxed in July and tinkered with TIA Portal software. In August, he was fully on board, describing a typical day like this:
"I'd arrive at eight, and my supervisor would assign me tasks—anything from project assistance, robot work, to testing different models. I even worked on an AI model and managed some servers. The day ended depending on the work—usually by four or five."
Tomáš enjoyed the relaxed pace, always able to consult his supervisor or other ICE experts as needed. He relished the opportunity to work with robots and PLC machines and explore various simulations. He plans to continue collaborating with ICE and will lead a robotics course for primary school students this academic year.
"In 2023, Tomáš joined our ICE Summer Automation Camp. As a gymnasium student, automation was somewhat new to him, but a week at ICE changed all that. We really got him involved. This summer, he was instrumental in setting up parts of our testing stations and ended his internship running a robotic station on our Family Day, teaching kids basic robot operations. We're excited to keep working with him."
It might sound a bit old-school, but Ondřej Blažek, from Žďár Industrial School, discovered ICE at a school career day. He grabbed a contact at the ICE booth and later arranged an internship directly with Kuba Krejčí, our installations team leader. He started with a two-week stint in May and extended it to a full two months on installation.
Ondra got hands-on with all aspects of mechanical work. He appreciated the variety—working on electrical panels, assembling various components, and even revamping electrics on an entire line. He reflects on his experience: "It was really worthwhile. For the future, I might lean towards design rather than installation. I learned heaps, from 3D modeling and using Inventor to reading ePlan."
He found his time at ICE to be incredibly varied, often taking the initiative to find and complete needed tasks. He even tackled some tough manual work, like cleaning gutters.
"From day one, I brought him along to a client project in a new factory making coolers for electromobiles. It was quite different from his school experiences, but he adapted quickly. He proved to be capable and inquisitive, always ready to learn how things work. He's proven himself as an intern, and I look forward to our continued cooperation."
