This is what Gary thought of his internship with SRC.
I was first introduced to Career Academy by my course coordinator. When I heard about the program I was interested from the word go. Also I found the information really intriguing, that’s when I knew that Career Academy was for me.
The reason why I got involved with Career Academy is because I thought that it would be a good opportunity to see what is available within the IT industry. Furthermore I believed that it would allow me to see what skills that were required out in industry. The work placement began on the 28th May to 13th July 2012. My six weeks internship was completed at Southern Regional College, within the Examinations Department. During the six weeks internship I worked alongside Janine Mussen and Claire Fegan.
Throughout the internship I fulfilled numerous tasks such as; creating a database which contains all certificates post over the last 10 years, preparing rooms for exams, checking travelling claim forms for Human Resources, finally I had to update tender documents for Finance on the computer. During my six weeks internship I was able to improve my communication skills for example answering telephones and dealing with people’s queries face to face or over the telephone.
I believe that the internship give me a good insight the IT industry. Furthermore it made me understand that there are no limits when it comes to my career as long as I put in the effort.
