An internship at cts Group: The path from theory to practice.

6. März 2025

The path from theory to practice

The future cannot be learned solely in the classroom. Those who wish to shape it must combine theory with practice, apply knowledge to real-world situations, and continuously broaden their horizons.


Johannes and Sarah know this well, having seized the opportunity during their studies to gain insights into the world of automation technology and Industry 4.0 through an internship at cts Group. They share their experiences and explain how these have changed their career perspectives.

From University to the Workplace – Theory Meets Practice

Johannes, a student of electrical and information engineering at TU Munich, represents a generation tasked with finding their place in a highly technological and fast-paced world. For him, the internship at cts Group was the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge from his studies to real-world projects. Topics like predictive maintenance and fully automated production systems—which once seemed abstract to him—became tangible. His understanding of Industry 4.0 deepened significantly through practical work. Johannes was particularly drawn to the work at the interfaces between high-frequency technology and IT security. It is this interdisciplinarity that fascinates him and which he intends to focus on in his future career.


Sarah, a student of wood technology at TH Rosenheim, is also at the beginning of her career path. But her goals are clear: “I want to gain as many insights as possible and discover where my strengths lie.” Her internship at cts Group provided her with exactly that opportunity.

An Internship as a Compass for Career Development

For many students, an internship is the first pivotal station on their career path. For Johannes and Sarah, the internship at cts Group was a formative experience. Johannes used the opportunity to further deepen his skills in networking and IT security, while Sarah was especially excited about the variety of tasks. Every day, the internship presented new challenges that broadened their perspectives and demonstrated the importance of connecting different areas of expertise.


The internship at cts Group was not defined by routine tasks, but by the chance to actively contribute and take on responsibility. We place great emphasis on nurturing young talents and involving them in relevant projects that offer not only theoretical but also practical valuable experiences. Through this, Johannes and Sarah were able to expand their technical skills and gain a deeper understanding of the real-world demands of the industry.

Insight into Activities

During their internship at cts GmbH, Sarah and Johannes gained valuable insights into various technical and practical areas.


Sarah gained extensive experience in manufacturing automation by familiarizing herself with assembly processes and conducting test scenarios for valve assemblies. Additionally, she worked closely with process engineering R&I diagrams and supported mechanical installations and commissioning in radiopharmaceuticals. She was also involved in metal welding and its post-treatment processes.


Johannes, on the other hand, focused on test scenarios for functional modules and developed software to optimize the management and recording of tests for standard valve assemblies. He was also involved in electrical installations and supported commissioning in the semiconductor industry. Both were able to gain hands-on experience in various fields and connect it with their theoretical knowledge.
