REALITY OF INTERNSHIP

REALITY OF INTERNSHIP

I'm thanking to this internship period which make me more advance in this career. In this internship duration help me to gained some good quality experienced. Its help me to form in a mold by the job-scope. I got face a lot of challenges such as time managing, good team work, pressure handling, and these all give me strength.

The internship program was a truly rewarding experience. I encountered with real life HR activities and also received the opportunity to perform in those activities. My knowledge of HR was helpful to add new perspective while we gathered for department meetings. I witnessed the execution of all the HR functions in real life however I only had the theoretical knowledge about them which answered many "whys" of mine. It was commendable to see how wholeheartedly they welcomed, acknowledged and appreciated new ideas and knowledge. I also attempted to gather more information on basic job functions of other departments to have better understanding of the relation between the mand the HR department.

The Futech Metalworks offered a friendly and cooperative environment. Everyone in the HRD was occupied with their own routine work which I believe limited my learning possibilities. However, this internship has helped me to bridge the gap bet real life practice. My primary objective was to observe, evaluate and compare the relationship between the knowledge that I have gained in my HR and workplace. This eight week internship has certainly helped me learn how tasks are performed in a workplace. However, some of the practices of the HR department during my internship raised my concerns.

If I am to highlight on the most significant aspect of my internship learning, then it would be the importance of communication. Good communication is crucial in any organization and it holds more importance in bigger organization with significant number of workers.It was quite surprising to see how the HR department of a Futech Metalworks employing 200 worker slacked effective communication procedures. It was the biggest flaw the department had, so to say and I did learn a lot from the errors committed by the others. In this regard, it was hard to put my freshly acquired, updated academic knowledge into practice, yet I succeeded in learning many new things from this experience as well.

As proverb goes, "a book cannot be judged by its cover", it is difficult to tell where an organization stands just by looking at its physical infrastructure unless you get into it.

And this experience has given me a rare opportunity to take a closer look at a workplace and understand the differences between the classroom knowledge and real corporate world. It is extremely difficult for those to understand the real world without any prior working experience.

Our company has provided us with an extremely relevant academic knowledge. All the academic learning may have not been applied in practice, I could still see the need of its implementation and how it could bring about positive changes to the HR department.
