The experience introduction during the internship helped me understand the

organization's structure, operations, and work culture. It provided a foundation for
adapting to the workplace and contributing effectively. However, challenges such as
limited orientation time and lack of detailed guidance affected the initial learning process.

To improve future experience introductions, I recommend implementing a structured

orientation program, providing a detailed internship guide, assigning mentors, allowing
more time for introduction, and establishing a feedback system. These steps will help
interns integrate faster and perform better in their roles.

unfamiliar systems and time management, the hands-on experience significantly
enhanced my technical abilities and problem-solving skills in a professional IT
environment.

conclusions

In conclusion, the internship provided valuable practical experience that enhanced my

technical skills, professional development, and understanding of real-world Graphics
designer. It bridged the gap between classroom learning and industry training, building
confidence and competence. Overall, the experience was rewarding and instrumental in
preparing me for future career opportunities.

recommendations
