Learnings and experience from the internship program
1. Learningsand Experience (Internship Program)
It is really an incredible and a very nice journey with the WildTeam & USAIDโs tiger project which gives me
lot of opportunity to learn so many things through office operation and field journey. I should have to point
out major learning opportunity here which I have learned and experienced during my internship period
๏ง I have carried out my major responsibility in component four which is communication and outreach
part. I donโt have any idea about how to make a newsletter for the subscribers of an organization.
But Iโve learned to create the email newsletter through MailChimp tool.
๏ง After joining the project as an intern, Iโve felt that the Microsoft EXCEL is how much important in
my career. Perhaps, nothing will be done in paperwork without EXCEL tool. From the general
calculation to make a Gantt chart or Pie chart, EXCEL is the most important and highest used tool
in an office. Iโve learned different tools from EXCEL during my internship period. I learn about the
conversion of a mail into the PDF by pressing (ctrl+p) together.
๏ง It was a good opportunity to learn the GPS system practically with an incredible arrangement of a
data dynamic google map through my office work. Our GIS specialist helps me a lot to learn about
google dynamic map and EXCEL data arrangement.
๏ง We are beginners actually not really know about how to write a concept note for an event, how to
design a day-long program or how to write a checkpoint report, travel authorization, justification
note, thanks-letter or project tracking report but it is a great pleasure for me to learn all of this
sincerely.
๏ง We know that how to communicate through Facebook or Snapchat, but the Facebook or social
media like this is not actually adopted with the office environment. So, at first, I have learned email
communications and the most interesting communication tools were Slack and Trello for the
integrated communication throughout the team.
๏ง Journey to the Sundarbans for the four days was the most exciting experience of my life. Weโve
taken four hours long video footage from the Sundarbans to produce a research activity video
about the Bagh works and operation in the research field. I have learned how to take a shot at
making a video about the wildlife and environment and how to prepare a voiceover transcript
following a base timeline for a short documentary.
๏ง And I was just familiar with the word โAuctionโ and never know that how to arrange a successful
painting auction to raise the for the noble cause and to save the tiger. Me with my supervisor and
colleagues designed an auction program for the domestic and foreigner bidders. Weโve worked on
venue arrangement, base price setting of the paintings, guest list preparing, sell order form
preparing, bidders card and logistic preparing which was a mostly successful event placed in
American Club, Dhaka.
2. ๏ง Finally, meeting with the Different public-private organization, third party, vendors and government
officials was the important part to enhance my network with different key persons and
organizations which will help in the future to flourish my career aspirations.
