TRAINEES ASSESSMENT OF THE PRACTICUM PROGRAM

Findings and Assessment

As expected to us trainees who chose to have training at our College, like the other
trainees we are expected to make a personal commitment to get the most out of the
training opportunities. We are task to do a job training wherein during the training
we experienced doing troubleshooting, maintaining and reformat each computer
unit at the laboratory.

Aside from that I am also tasked to secure each computer lab that was assigned to
me. I have also experienced doing on the spot troubleshooting of computer units not
only at the IT bldg but also at the different colleges as well as at the Admin Bldg
whenever they need our help.

During our training, our supervisor is not a strict person who act like a boss
whenever he give assignments to us, instead he's acting like a leader who make sure
that we learn something from him.

He is a kind of person who feed our minds with knowledge and molding us with
skills for us to be ready to our future career.

At the end of our on-the-job training this semester, I have learned the deep reality of
being an IT student molding us as an IT expert someday. From theories to
application, I also experienced some things that I am not used to do like cloning hard
drive , set up a new computer and configurating IP address on some buildings.

17
Conclusion and Recommendation

Ive learned from my ojt experience that every single task is not that hard, you
just need to enjoy what you are doing to complete the task and also you need to take
it seriously because its not a joke dealing with other people you need to obey their
task and to follow their orders .

My advice to those who will take their practicum in the near future is that to
take their ojt with fun because its a once in a life time experience and also its their
chance to gain more knowledge about the IT related field and also to adopt what
youve learned from your practicum site and also to respect your supervisor.
