Internship Orientation, Experience, Activities And Experience

Decent Essays
Introduction The purpose of this report is to thoroughly explain the development throughout my internship and explain what areas of my knowledge have been improved since I started my internship. Some of the topics that will be covered include orientation advice, daily experiences, and communication skill enhancement. Although more topics will be covered, you cannot value enough the lessons learned while working in the real world. The experienced gained has helped me to better understand the information that was taught in the classroom.
Internship Orientation and Preparation I was very lucky to have a human resource department that thoroughly explained the detailed requirements and itinerary for my first day of internship. The most effective

My first two weeks of internship took a lot of adapting in order to be able to wake up and arrive at work in a punctual manner. I never was late for work but it would have made my mornings easier at the beginning of my internship, had I been used to waking up early in the morning. I also arrived at my first day of orientation with questions after reading through the company handbook. I was able to have these questions addressed in a timely manner, due to the fact that I was prepared.
Activities and Experiences The primary tasks I completed during my internship included project administration, safety, cost controls and procurement. The project administration tasks that were performed on a daily basis were most valuable to my learning process. The documentation that was experienced while in COSC 353 really helped me to have a basic understanding before my internship. When I finally began to perform these tasks in the real world, I was able to understand and recognize situations that were discussed in the classroom. I didn’t necessarily understand why being so organized was so important during the class project with documentation. Although it was rather tedious, I understood this topic as I began

    To be honest, I might have either added or changed my field of passion from this human services program. Originally, I wanted to get into the mental health field of human services/social work and possibly work in a hospital to care the patients. Instead, I might deal more with children (ages 16 years old and below) as examples from my experiences from my last two internships. As for how I got to this current position, it was from selecting internships between semesters. When ever a clinic I wanted to internship, I had to resort to my backup locations when ever a clinic is not looking or interested in an intern or got no response from them at all.…

    As a student in the BUSI 440 course I have found myself really enjoying and looking forward to the assignments. During the first weeks of the course, we were assigned to read over two articles explaining why internships matter. While reading such articles I noticed how much I agreed with the information, in “The Positive Implications of Internships on Early Career Outcomes” the author Nathalie Saltikoff brought up the point that students graduating with internship experiences in general are more likely than students without experiences to find employment. This statement made me realize how important internships truly are. If I look back at my past internship and work experiences, I notice that I was able to expand my networking circle and improve my thought process.…

    I also assisted with child abuse and neglect investigations (CAN), intake, individualized service plans (ISPs), comprehensive family assessments (CFAs), entered data into Family, Adult, and Child Tracking System (FACTS), and continued to monitor the families I serve through home visitations. My favorite part of the internship experience outside of increasing the morale around the office, has been to work with families through the ISP process. This process is put in place in efforts to reunify the family. It gives me great joy to watch the family work on a plan to help them gain custody of their children.…

    During my second week being a volunteer in Veteran Employment Service (VETS), I was involved in different activities, one of them was to learn more about what I wanted to take out of the internship. They asked me that question last week to figure out and to thinks what I want to accomplish. During this week I told them that I want to have experience in the government setting and also to put in practice how to work in the real world because is really different to just know the concept but is also important to put the concept in practice. Furthermore, I want to work in my weakness because that would definitely be going to make me a comfortable person. Another thing that I would like to take out of this internship is that I want to be better at communication skills.…

    During my internship experience, I learned a lot of things that I thought I knew but are misconstrued on. With that being said, I know everything must be done in decent order or this will cause chaos and lead to confusion. I also learned everything takes patience and is very time- consuming. I became frustrated, so many times and just wanted to give up, but I had to remind myself that hard times are going to come and everything is going to work out. Many times I sat on my bed crying because it seems like everything piled on me at one time.…

    The professional book that I chose to read was “The American Health Care Paradox: why spending more is getting us less” wrote by Elizabeth H. Bradley and Lauren A. Taylor. In this book the authors demonstrate how American is spending more in health care but have poorer health outcome compare to other industrialized countries especially the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway).

    In my college career which has been around 4 years now, these first two weeks are the first of any trimester or semester that instead of being enrolled in classes, I’m enrolled in an internship. This is definitely a change from the norm but at the same time it is exciting as well. It gives me the opportunity to use or observe some of the material that I have learned so far in my classes at Johnson & Wales in a real scenario. This internship allows me as well to gain much needed additional experience in the sports and athletics industry and will give me a more holistic view of the athletic program. It will allow me to see many different roles and see from various projects what parts of athletics I like or dislike since I am overall still open for the future to a variety of roles in the sports industry…

    LUBS1060/1070 Introductory Assignment Student ID: 200871546 What evidence is there to suggest that work experience is beneficial to your future career? “Internships have been described as a bridge between the theory of the classroom and the world of practice” (Nevett 1985, cited in Gault, J, Redington, J and Schlager, T. 2000. p.3) as they expose students to the working environment, allowing them to apply their knowledge to real life situations therefore testing their abilities in a different manner to classic academic exams.

    I yearned to view the world in a different perspective. I aim far beyond just experiencing the world first hand, seeing it through multiple lenses, and watching how it runs in the background. In fact, what I desire is to see where I must stand to give my maximum contribution to the global industry and multicultural understanding--a purpose I know I must serve. And this was what drove me to fly 8,500 miles from the Pearl of the Orient to the Land of the Free.…
