After surviving around three months of working on shifts and learning new things in their respective on-campus internship sites, this school year’s Grade 12 students have finally completed the hours needed for their first semester internship inside the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) campus.
To give them a preview of what it is like in the world of work, the students were deployed to different colleges, institutions, and offices according to their chosen academic track. Those from the Applied Sciences and Engineering track were assigned to the College of Architecture, University Health Service, Interactive Learning Center - Diliman, Marine Science Institute, and the Institute of Civil Engineering.
On the other hand, students from the Business and Entrepreneurship track were assigned to the UP Balay Kalinaw, University Food Service (UFS), University Hotel, College of Home Economics, and UP Bahay ng Alumni.
Lastly, students from the Social Sciences and Humanities track served their internship hours at the Diliman Information Office, College of Mass Communication, College of Arts and Letters, College of Social Work and Community Development, and the Sentro ng Wikang Filipino.
The interns courageously faced a variety of tasks and challenges presented by these 15 work sites. As a venue for sharing each other’s experiences, each track held a culminating activity for their Grade 11 counterparts on December 11.
The group of interns per internship site prepared a 3-5 minute presentation about the jobs they were given, challenges they faced, and people they worked with the purpose of providing the Grade 11 students an idea of what to expect when it is their turn to do the internship.
As an opportunity for them to share their stories and personal experiences from the first ever on-campus internship in the history of UPIS, they talked about what have learned as interns and gave the next batch a brief background on the jobs that they will most likely encounter. Hopefully, this will serve as a guide to help students from the lower batch in picking the internship site they will eventually apply for next year.
There isn’t one definite description to depict the seniors’ emotions, expectations, and testimonies concerning this event.
“Kabado kasi since batch natin ang pinaka-unang mag-oorganize ng ganitong activity, hope kong may makuhang wisdom ang susunod na batch sa ibabahagi nating mga experience galing sa internship at makatulong ito sa pagpili nila ng kanilang site,” said Stephen Sanchez from the Applied Sciences and Engineering track when asked about his feelings towards the event.
Kate Marcelino from the Business and Entrepreneurship track added, “Excited ako na mag-share ng experiences ko tapos sana makatulong ito sa performance ng mga susunod na batch sa darating na internship nila.”
“Masaya yung naging experience ko sa UFS. Sana nga maraming mag-intern dito next year. Pero isa lang advice ko sa mga mapupunta dito: matuto kayong makisama”, said Aichel Crisostomo, also from the Business and Entrepreneurship track, giving us her own little preview of what she shared during the culminating activity.
Although other high school students have yet to experience the internship seminar, and the whole internship deployment at that, they will eventually take up this challenge. So in the next one, two, or three more years, the Grade 12 students hope that the lessons they have shared will not be forgotten. //Jo-ev Guevarra
