CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
On the whole, this internship was a useful experience. I have gained new
knowledge, skills and met many new people. I achieved several of my learning goals,
however for some the conditions did not permit. I got insight into professional practice. I
learned the different facets of working within a schedule. I experienced that financing, as
in many organizations, is an important factor for the progress of project.
I experienced that it is of importance that the education is objective and that you
have to be aware of the view of other people. Internship education is not one sided, but it
is a way of sharing knowledge, ideas and opinions. The internship was also good to find
out what my strengths and weaknesses are. This helped me to define what skills and
knowledge I have to improve in the coming time. It would be better that the knowledge
level of the language is sufficient to contribute fully to projects. After my undergraduate I
think that I could start my working career. However I could perform certain tasks in
