CHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.0 Introduction.
This chapter consists of discussion, conclusions and recommendation of internship experiences at
Edutech Media Group from 4th Dec 2023 to 21th Jan 2024.
5.1 Conclusion
According to the above chapters of this report, the field attachment program has been of a great value
due to the achieved goals of confidence in program solving, acquired new knowledge and skills, obtained the
working experience, exposed to the workplace challenges demands, met potential employers and others through
performing the assigned tasks.
Challenges give us a chance to prove ourselves. After taking challenges, I realized it changed my
thinking. Now I do not get afraid to any challenges. I think that challenges give us opportunities and we should
accept them.
I have gathered lots of experience and learning during my internship period. Involvement on real life
projects taught me how to handle and cope with a very large projects, how to manage things easily, how to
maintain projects timeline and schedule, how to develop a completeproject etc. This whole journey also taught
me to be passionate, hard-working, rational and dependable, punctual, intelligent, cordial, enthusiastic, arduous
and confident. So, I think that my overall progress during my internship period was noteworthy and it will play
a key role throughout my whole life.
On my side, field attachment program has been a successful one in the course of Bachelors of Computer
Graphics and Design.

5.3 Recommendation
Basing on all that I went through during the whole period of the program, I recommend
Edutech Media Group and the students joining the field attachment program to do the following
for the betterment of the program;
I encourage students to always adapt to the new technologies in the world. I also encourage
students joining field attachment to venture into areas beyond their field and learn as much as they
can in fields of video editing, social skills and fieldwork which will make them more capable of
being employed.
Students should always search for solutions and inspirations online. This is because there
are many people in the world that have faced similar problems or challenges related to yours. They
upload step by step answers and solutions they took to overcome such challenges from different
sites. During the period I spent, I realized there were more tutorials about my field than I had
thought.
Students should not be afraid of facing challenges, both Graphics and non-design related.
This is because in the working environment, you can’t avoid challenges, however to improve your
experience, one should solve as many challenges as possible
Thanks and gratitude should also flow to my University supervisor Mr. WAISWA YUSIF
for the guidance offered to me and direction during my preparation of my internship report and
many more.
