CHAPTER 2: Students Experience Internship

2.1 How we get into the company
We have given the internship request form then we are find a company which can accept us
then after we have an adaption to give our internship manual paper to Dilla University ICT
Center company. at that time the company accept us to accomplish our task from July 24 to
september 5 When we join to the company just immediately first introduce myself and the
next day I start our practice. Now I have improved my internship experience at Dilla
University ICT Center office. generally I am not difficult to get our company after to know
my Company .because it is already known.

2.2 Teams and Work Relation among Team Members/Other Staff

2.2.1 Team Relation
During internship period at the first time I feel individuality, but some time later we adapt
group relation or team relation and work together and live as brotherly and sisterly.
4
Group work is more success full than individual work , because if somebody works in group
sharing idea and solve big problem and create new thing than individual work.

2.2.2 Work Relation

During internship program perform theoretical idea or concepts by practically concept. i.e.
Internship program had been more focused on practical works rather than theoretical works.
their for theoretical and practical or lecture method and internship program have their own
relation . Internship program is the result of theoretical program. Because if somebody try to
perform practical works theoretical must be known at the first time.

2.2.3 The work task we have been executing

 File Sharing by using Network

 View Data center
 Identify their problems
 Identifying and analyzing the problems of existing system
 Suggesting solution for the identified problems
 Downloading different software
 Giving awareness about computer science and information technology
 Prepare UTP Cable

2.2.3.1 Prepare UTP Cable

First I learned types of networking cable
Networking cable is used to connect two or more computers or networking device in a
network. there are different types of networking cable ,but I Focused on twisted cable
spatially I Saw UTP Cable.
UTP Cable
 UTP cables are widely used in the computer and telecommunications industry
as Ethernet cables and telephone wires
 I used to transfer internet.

NB. we had used wire cutter instead of this incase of shortage of material.

Step 2: Strip the cable jacket

Step 3: Spread the four pairs of twist.

Step 4: Untwist the wire pairs and neatly.

9
.

Step 5: arrange wires or pines properly depend up on female connector standard.

Uses either A or B standard.

Step 6: Cut the wires as straight as possible by using crimper.

NB. we had used scissor instead of this incase of shortage of material.

Step 6: Carefully insert the wires all the way into the modular connector, making sure that
each wire passes through the appropriate guides inside the connector.

Step 7: Push the connector inside the crimping tool and squeeze the crimper all the way
down.

2.4 Overall benefits gained from the internship
The main aim of this internship program is changing the theoretical education we have
learned to the practical one. The main objective of this practical attachment is to make the
graduating students to have sufficient practical experience that enables them to perform
effectively on their appropriate profession after graduation. The practical attachment is very
interesting and helpful for the student. It helps the students to observe the work environment
and gain experience for their future career. It will also help the students to solve the real
world problems by applying all their knowledge they gained in their learning time. However
it is, from this internship program we have got different skills.
Skills I have got and improved in our internship program are list below:-
 Practical skills.

• Recognizing the risk that will be occurred during job processed

2.4.2 Upgrading Theoretical knowledge

Even though, we were learns a lot of things in the class theoretically, we know
many knowledge full activities while we saw things practically. Therefore inter
ship program is not only used to improve our practical skill, but also used to
impose our theoretical knowledge by correlating the practical skill with theoretical
knowledge some of the points that we improved our theoretical knowledge’s are:-
To know in detail about network installation and network cable arrangement. To
inter connect the theoretical knowledge with the real work. Clearly I learned IP
address.

2.4.3 Interpersonal communication

Team working is priceless while performing tasks that society wants from servers.
To gives the services for the customers and talking is not possible together.
Therefore, by good communication among the different sections in the sub city
and woreda I gain wide knowledge.
Good communication has the following advantage:
➢ Analyze and perfect performance of targeted network cabling maintenance
and inspection.
➢ Improving efficiency of the network configuration and cable arrangement due
to inter personal communication.
➢ To persuade peoples the more we communicate the more we know, the better
we persuade the people.

13
2.4.4 Team playing skill
Thus, achieving good team playing skill is essential for.
➢ Communication skill is developing.
➢ Increasing understanding of the task

➢ I learn that no need of playing during work.
➢ Saving money and time was must within the work ethics.

14
 ➢ observe safety was first for work
➢ How I Am being punctual for a future.
➢ Being responsibility for a future.

2.5 University’s Taught Programs and the Internship Relatedness

Personal I think university taught programs is best to me. Because there is not missing
educational time or there is not overlap between internship program and education’s
program . Because based on university taught program internship program was in free
time or summer.
In case of this University’s Taught Programs and the Internship Relatedness was fantastic
or balanced.

2.6 Techniques used in our internship

➢ Observation
➢ Interview and questioning
➢ Reading existing document
➢ Google search

2.7 Major challenges and problems during the internship period

we have faced different problems like: -
o Materials were broken easily when we do networking
o We do not start our internship work quickly
o Slow network connection to search important information
o There is no enough instrument
o No enough computer in the office for apparent students
o The organization has no well-organized document to read about the structure
and workflow
o there was instability in the country
o Doesn’t get sufficient chair for setting

2.8 The measures taken to overcome these challenges During the

internship period

we have faced many problems, but we have taken different measures like: -

15
✓ Use internet connection before employees get to the office and after they have gone to
their home
We trained our practice based on the schedule
✓ We use our own computer together
✓ We use different websites
✓ As much as possible we use materials carefully if broken we report at a time and our
trainer replace.
✓ We told the administrator to build enough rooms for office for the future
✓ we had being setting two person by one chair. other wise setting by orderly.

CHAPTER 3 : SWOT ANALYSIS

3.1 Strengths
I had seen Some strength. Such as:-
 It has good structural arrangement and leadership qualities.
 There is good relationship between mangers and coworkers.
 It has very secured data center.
 It has an alarm inside the network operational center.
 It has power full supervisor with in knowledge or skilled human resource to utilize
technology and cope up with the changing situation.

3.2 Weakness
I had seen this Limitation. Such as:-
Lack of computer network in the office.
Limited number of academic programs.
Failure to apply student-centeredness approach.
Mismanagement of physical facilities and resources.
Weak research culture.
Shortage of skilled human resource to utilize technology and cope up with the
changing situation.
Shortage of Material almost there is not material.

16
 3.3 Opportunity
 Opportunity is a positive external condition that you do not control but of which you
can plan to take advantage. Thus, some the opportunities of DU ICT are:-
 There is good flow of information.
 Unable to expand by identifying a good experience for others
 Have skill full power to know networking system.
 To be More focused at the future.
 To be save time at the future.

3.4 Threat(Risk)

 Less decision making in all hierarchal level of management.

 Department show use operational, manners, daily to improve their service giving
responsibilities.
 Shortage of material .
 Have not internet access

CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

4.1. Conclusion
The internship has a great role on students because it provides the way to relate the course
taken in theory with real world experience. It is also useful to enable and develop good work
ethics and understanding. Furthermore, it is useful to identify the strengths and weaknesses of
the intern to work on. Finally, most of the tasks that are performed in the office were related
to field of my study because of this I was so satisfied during my internship.

4.2. Recommendation
This internship is very important for students because it helps them to increase their
experience and skills. In order to produce knowledgeable and skilled students, the following
points need the attention of the concerned bodies.
Hosting organizations should be volunteer to accept and train internship students at first.

17
 And should provide good environment for the students. The materials should
have to be sufficient and functioning.
 The employees should be punctual and have willingness to teach the interns.
 Students should be responsible for the duties they are assigned and pay
attention for the practical work.
 Above all the supervisors need to do researches to solve the problems they
face like the problems with the internet connection.
