1.2.3 Challenges
Throughout the trainee’s training at Bikandema and Partners, the trainee faced a few
challenges and these include;
1. Many skills required in office especially with the billing process were those barely
taught in class. This created a great challenge in coping up with new skills barely
taught in class.
2. The outbreak of Ebola disease in the country that threatened most of citizens in the
country. This too, brought about fear of physical interaction amongst our trainers and
the fellow colleagues doing the training.
3. Limited time of interaction and career guidance from our supervisors. This was
because of the busy schedule of their works during the training period that minimized
the time of one-on-one interaction between the trainers and the trainees.
1.3 Conclusion
The training has been a great exposure to the quantity surveying field in specificity,
measurement, contract documentation, preparation of valuations and certificates among
others.
It has helped the trainee as a student to relate the general theory taught at the university to the
real work done in the field. Through this, the trainee acquired a couple of skills for example
taking off with excel and plan swift, time management, listening and interpersonal
communication skills, organizational skills, to mention but a few.
1.4 Recommendation
Internship training is implemented through partnership among three key stakeholders the
organization, the University and the students. All the three partners are responsible for
effectively, efficiently and sustainably implementing the internship program. Commitment to
this partnership rests on mutual benefits for all the key partners involved. The
recommendations to strengthen the internship program are categorized under the three stake
holders; the university administration, organization and the trainee.
1.4.1 The university administration
1. It should secure internship places with recognized companies for students to ease
monitoring them and also reduce the difficulty a student finds when looking for a
placement.
2. It should integrate internship program into the university curricular and have it
reviewed periodically for perfect improvements of the program.
2
3. It should also develop a more reliable monitoring and evaluation criteria for the
internship program including the code of conduct for students and staff involved both
at the university and at the field other than relying on logbooks.
4. The university should identify organizations that offer valuable learning experiences
to the students other than sending students with letters to look for sites for their
training and they resort to places that they are familiar with.
5. The university should source for funding from development partners and internally to
support implementation of the internship program. This mainly benefits the student
who may lack sufficient funds to go through the internship program.
6. It should also create platforms and mechanisms for sharing experience arising out the
internship program by the stakeholders for better improvement of the internship
program for example by issuing official communication to the organizations so that
they prepare themselves for the trainees.
