Take a Peek at Student Internships in Construction Companies

           Hello, my name is Tissa Tamariska, you can call me Tissa. In this blog, I will tell you about my internship in a construction company. Happy reading! 😉

        I got the opportunity to do an internship at PT. Yodya Karya. The first day of my internship, I submitted an internship letter to the company. On my first day of internship, I just submitted a letter and activities will start tomorrow. The next day, January 4 2022, I left home using public transportation in the city of Semarang, or better known as Trans Semarang, to go to the place where I did my internship. I did an internship at the Public Works Polytechnic Project which is located at Jalan Soekarno-Hatta, close to the University of Semarang (USM).

            The next day I met with company employees and got acquainted, I was warmly welcomed here. I was told about the project that was being built, I was given so many design drawings that it surprised me because it was the first time I saw that many design drawings. After I found out about the project where I did my internship, I was given the first assignment in the form of data recap. Before being given an assignment, I am always given how to do it first so as to minimize a mistake. My daily activity is to provide a working drawing or design to the contractor, PT. Wijaya Karya. Working drawings will be checked at my apprentice company, and if the drawings are approved, the drawings will be given to the contractor. In carrying out this activity, I was not alone, I was assisted by my friend, Novania and several students who also did internships at PT. Yodya Karya. There are several interns from various universities, such as; Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Universitas Jenderal Seodirman (UNSOED), Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). In a company where I do an internship, we learn together and help with every task. As the months went on and there were more and more activities, I was given the task by my supervisor, Ms. Farida, to recap the results of the meeting and record project materials. The challenge in the task this time, I have to finish within one week. The company's duties and trust in me, make me have a big responsibility so that I can finish it in a week.

            In the six months of this internship, I am very grateful to gain experience in the world of work with guidance. I also met many people, learned many things that I can use for the future. On the last day of my internship, I said goodbye, thanked the company deeply for helping me with this internship and looked forward to having the opportunity next time to meet or work again with fine people like them.
