The document discusses the projects, successes, and challenges of an internship training program at Moog. There were three main projects: a weekly activity chart to track progress, a research paper on psychometric testing, and a post-training report summarizing experiences. Successes included completing the research paper, gaining new knowledge and insights, and fulfilling all internship requirements. Challenges involved technical problems due to the virtual setting, lack of time preventing some activities, and difficulty gathering data for the research paper.

So let us now proceed on our Projects Undertaken, Successes, and
Challenges.
We had three projects in Moog during our training period; the weekly activity chart, research paper, and post training report.
● First is the weekly activity chart. Moog provided us with a template
log sheet for our meetings. After every meeting and activity, we input the date, time log in, time log out, activity name, and notes. On the notes part, we write a summary of what happened during the meeting or activity. Aside from the meetings with Moog, we also input here the time we spent doing our research paper and post-training report. Through this we were able to track our progress and meetings in Moog.
● Second is our research paper. Its content includes what psychometric
testing is and its importance, and the assessment tools and psychometric tests used by big industries in their hiring and selection process. We personally gathered data from employees and HRs from different companies, asking them about the psychometric test and assessment tool they use.
In our research paper, we also discussed and explained each
psychometric test they use, each assessment tool they use, and the company background.
● Lastly, post-training report. Basically, it is a 4 pages report of our
experience and insights in Moog. There we have the summary of our experience, description of our task, the academic knowledge and technical skills we applied during the training, our personal insights; new skills, new knowledge, new discoveries and perceptions we gained during our training. We also have photos, highlights while on training, our impression of Moog; on the work atmosphere and people in general. Our plans to apply what we have learned in the future and our recommendation for program improvement. And of course, here are the things that we consider as our success while on training. ● Our research paper, we were able to finish a research paper while on training. We spent a lot of time doing it, we thoroughly researched what we put on our research paper. Especially that we had to contact employees and HRs to have sufficient information and finish our research paper. ● Insights and new knowledge, it is a success that we were able to gain and learn something from our training, from our experience. It helped us expand our knowledge about the industrial setting, we gained new insights about the role of the HR department, and gained new skills through the online exams, online interviews, requirements, and observations we did. ● Lastly, we completed our internship period in the industrial and organizational setting and it is really a success for us. We accomplished every requirement given to us from Moog and from our professors. We did not encounter any major issues while on training and it went really well for all of us because we learned and gained from this internship.
However, here are the challenges we faced while on training.
● Technical problems. It is unavoidable due to our current situation of course, virtual setting. So there were times that we experienced poor internet connection and audio problems. This happens to both employees, employers, applicants, and interns. Though there are minor concerns like this, it is still quickly solved and does not cause big problems. Just a delay sometimes. ● Then, lack of time is one of our minor challenges we experienced. It was a concern for us because we weren’t able to complete the minimum hours needed since we have fewer meetings with Moog. We are supposed to do a presentation for Moog but that wasn’t pushed through. And there was a time when we were supposed to give feedback about the online interview but due to lack of time, we weren’t able to share our feedback. ● Lastly, data gathering was a challenge for us. We had to contact different employees and HRs from different companies to have sufficient data for our research paper. It was a challenge because employees hardly remember the test they took, or the assessment tool where they took the exam. We had to look for HRs to obtain information about their psychometric test and assessment tools they use in the hiring and selection process. It was challenging because we do not know a lot of HRs and not every company uses an assessment tool.
That’s the end of our projects undertaken, successes, and
challenges. Let us now proceed on insights. Cheska.
