Working Student Experience: Parisa’s story at Italtel

How our Working Student Program helps Parisa KarbalaeiSadegh combine her academic path with hands-on experience in an international business environment

Meet Parisa

My name is Parisa KarbalaeiSadegh, and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Economics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.

Alongside my studies, I work as a working student in the Financial Controlling team at Italtel Deutschland.

Learning through real experience

Since joining Italtel, I have been involved in financial controlling and reporting activities.

Working with real business data has helped me strengthen my analytical skills and gain a deeper understanding of how financial information supports business decisions.

A supportive and collaborative environment

One of the things I appreciate most about Italtel is its working environment.

From the beginning, I felt welcomed and supported by my colleagues. The atmosphere is professional, collaborative, and open, creating the right conditions to learn, ask questions, and take on new challenges.

Working closely with my manager has been especially valuable. I receive guidance, while also having the independence to take responsibility for my work. This balance of support and trust has made the experience both rewarding and motivating.

Balancing study and work

A key benefit of the Working Student Program is the opportunity to connect academic knowledge with real business situations.

I am also very grateful for the flexibility and support I have found at Italtel. Balancing studies and work is not always easy, but the company truly encourages students to succeed in both. Being trusted with meaningful responsibilities while continuing my education has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Looking to the future

Looking ahead, I would like to continue building my expertise in finance, controlling, and data analysis. I am also interested in expanding my understanding of business operations and corporate processes.

The experience I am gaining as a working student at Italtel is helping me build a strong foundation for my future career while supporting my professional and personal growth.

A valuable experience

Being part of Italtel’s Working Student Program has been a valuable experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, contribute, and develop within such a supportive environment.

For anyone looking to gain practical experience, learn from experienced professionals and take the first steps toward their future career, I can highly recommend this program
