Virtual Internship at Scenario X

Bachelor Student in Information Systems and Technology
University of Lusaka
August 21 - October 31, 2023

 

At work

During my internship, I had the privilege of working on the company website and assisted in carrying out research on how to successfully migrate it from Wix to AzureDevops. This provided me with hands-on experience and allowed me to apply the skills I acquired in my studies. I particularly enjoyed the online meetings with the company developers, as they assisted me in the installation and configuration of different software packages.

My Mentor, Coach, and Colleagues

I am fortunate to have had a supportive and knowledgeable mentor, Jonathan S. Amossou who guided me through my tasks and provided valuable feedback. Additionally, my coach Karen Mueller and my colleagues were always approachable and willing to share their expertise, creating a conducive learning environment.

Highlights and Lowlights

One of the highlights of my internship was when I met my childhood friend who happens to be an alumnus during the networking dinner that was organized by B360, this encouraged me and motivated me because of the positive impact the internship made in his life. The help and support I received from different members of the company also stood out as it showcased the collaborative spirit and innovative mindset that defines Scenario-X. However, like any experience, there were challenges too. Overcoming intermittent internet connectivity taught me the importance of resilience and adaptability in a professional setting.

 
 

My Future Plans

This internship has reinforced my passion for Information Technology. I am eager to continue developing my skills and hope to become a professional IT specialist. I am confident that the lessons learned at Scenario-X will be instrumental in shaping my future endeavors.

Personal Message

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at Scenario-X and the B360 education partnerships for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my internship. I am leaving with a wealth of knowledge and cherished memories that will undoubtedly influence my professional journey.

Thank you once again for this enriching opportunity!
