Introduction
I did my internship at the Yolsu Engineering LTD. During the two weeks of training, I managed to serve in accounting and human resources departments. As an intern, the scope of my responsibilities included offering support services to humanitarian aid, financial, and information networking systems in the company. This report will review my internship experience at Yolsu Engineering LTD. The essay will examine the performance of the company in terms of strengths, opportunities, and threats. The report concentrates on individual observation and how this experience has impacted my future career direction.
Internship experience
Week 1
On the first day of my internship at the Yolsu Engineering LTD, I was ushered by one of the human resource officers I was expected to report to during the entire training-work period. I was assigned a secretarial role comprising documentation, picking calls, and office arrangement. This went on for the next three days. On the fourth day, I accompanied one of the accounts clerks to several banks to make deposits. The accounting clerk guided me on registering the deposit receipts into the company’s accounts system. The following day, I went to the banks to make deposits alone and correctly entered the system’s tickets. During the first week of the internship, I was assigned chronological documentation of sensitive company documents such as receipts, invoices, and delivery notes. This duty was extended to proper accounting of the tickets that suppliers issued after delivering different products and services.
At the end of the week, I passed the weekly progress review since I was able to accurately and competently work with chronological documentation and track the receipts in the company’s account system. I learned the documentation and office arrangement during the first week. It was interesting to undergo practical training on how to deposit money in the banks and manage the receipts within the accounting system of the company. In addition, I learned the importance of teamwork and consultation to minimize human error, especially when dealing with sensitive company documents.
Week 2
At the beginning of the second week, I was moved to the human resource department, where I carried on with the documentation and other secretarial roles. In addition to these roles, I was taught how to set up annual leaves for the employees, computation of salaries, creation and management of the payroll system, and the process of setting up permission for tasks. After just two days of training in the department of human resource management, I was able to systematically generate expense accounting for charges and licenses in the company. On the third day of the second week, I was transferred to the tax office, where my manager was helpful in showing me how to pay taxes, control tax debt, and manage the tax tickets. After three or four attempts, I was able to generate a tax proof paper indicating that the company has no tax liability. I accompanied the management to the Chamber of Commerce to obtain the address proof alongside activity documentaries. At the end of the second week, I learned that the Chamber of Commerce is very proactive in auditing the recruitment process of companies such as Yolsu Engineering LTD.
The second central duty I was assigned during the second week of internship was the organization of the company and personal documentaries. The task involved arranging the documentaries and creating their registers in the company documentation system. The documentaries I worked on include the work hours, work-hour payroll, and setting the in-out records. By the end of the second week, the manager and I were able to check the March, April, and May payrolls for the company and make necessary reconciliations. I chronologically generated the payroll reports for the three months.
Significance of the internship
The internship opportunity at the company was significant for understanding the operational framework in the engineering industry. The working framework comprises policy and litigation to satisfy the demands of customers through creative and high-quality services. I was also given an opportunity to manage the company’s accounts and human resource management systems. Through collaboration with the company’s funds and human resource managers, I was in a position to offer support services to the system that could track the inventory of the company.
The internship experience was life-changing since I had the opportunity to apply the class concepts in the company. For instance, I was able to use the EFT, make money order, entering receipts into the system, and managing the bills. I learned that there are three types of statements in a company. These bills are perception, settlement, and clearing. Moreover, the accounts manager was accommodating in teaching me how to make checkout. Through proactive training, the manager gave me an opportunity to understand credit trade, interest rate, and how to manage the monthly payments in the master payroll. Besides, I had a chance to participate in the development of a communication system.
Suggestions for policy
It is apparent that Yolsu Engineering LTD is well-positioned to survive competition due to its exciting accounts and human resource management systems. Besides, the company has a very dynamic team that is always at the forefront of designing innovative products. However, the company should expand on its customer feedback system to guarantee client loyalty, especially among the suppliers. In order to further improve efficiency, it is imperative for the company to develop a comprehensive personnel rotation plan within the two sections at the end of every year. For instance, the accounts section team should move to the human resource section. If the department embraces this recommendation, it will have the most experienced and well-motivated personnel within a year after implementation. Reflectively, the personnel will gain a lot of in-job experiences in both sections and would quickly fill any void in either of the areas when the need arises.
Improving the internship experience
In order to improve the internship experience, the company should create a training and employee evaluation department. This department may be proactive in tracking and providing appropriate information to the interns. Besides, the department may offer professional assistance and address the concerns of the interns who work in more than one department. In addition, the company should introduce a small monetary token to the interns as a motivational factor.
Conclusion
Throughout the internship period at the Yolsu Engineering LTD, I observed that the personnel were very informed of the practice accreditation standards and were generally useful in dispensing different duties.
