My internship at the Intellipro Group was a unique experience, allowing me to apply the skills I learned in class to real-life professional settings. I was able to apply theoretical conceptualizations gained in class to solve problems in human resource and talent management, which was such a unique experience for me. Further, the internship was a place to foster collaboration through engaging in interdepartmental collaboration and discharging diverse duties during the internship. The knowledge gained from my HR course was among the most useful tools for me as I approached the internship, especially human resource management issues. I applied human theories and leadership skills, especially those related to human resource management. These theories enabled me to identify top talent and strategically match them with the relevant top jobs that best fit them. Further, the organizational behavior theory was one of the most exceptional experiences that informed my activity at Intellipro, a dynamic (organization) that deals with semiconductors. I built strong relationships with clients and colleagues, which allowed me to create strong networks for the future. I applied the best practices used in the hiring field to achieve not only my internship goals but also the organizational corporate goals. Through this, I was able to adopt a data-driven approach by leveraging analytics and application data in the logistics of candidate analysis to identify the best match. Further, the internship allowed for insights into the challenges faced by professionals in the field of talent management and stressed the need for cross-sectional function collaboration, aligning with the organizational culture while increasing candidate engagement. In the future, I have questions that I seek to explore, including the examination of the distinct roles of human resource management and the exploration of diverse HR structures in similar sectors, while again, I need to dig deep into the development of practical skills relevant to the semiconductor industry. I would highly recommend this internship experience to other students. This is because it was not only an enriching experience, but it was also an opportunity to network. The staff at Intellipro Group were very supportive, which allowed me to enjoy my internship. Further, it exposed me to thinking deeply about reality in professional settings. It has also allowed me to be ready to respond to issues and challenges I will meet in discharging my duties.
