Passing practice is an obligatory and integral process in any educational institution. At younger courses, it is planned to stay in the organization for the purpose of educational practice, during which the student only delves into the essence of the profession, observes the process, and fixes everything that happens every day. He gains invaluable experience by looking at the professionalism of his colleagues. In senior courses, production practice is provided for when a student is sent to an institution not only for observation, but also for the implementation of acquired knowledge in order to apply it in his profession. In both cases, completing the practice diary crowns the matter. In addition, the student prepares a report, provides feedback from managers from the enterprise and from the university.
What is a practice diary?
There is an opinion among students that filling out a diary on industrial practice is a complex and boring process. It is not always clear what needs to be included in the descriptions, in what form to state your thoughts, what to focus on. Usually active trainees who have managed to do a lot over the period of work want to state all the events based on the emotions and new knowledge acquired by them. From this, the scientific and business style of presentation is lost, and filling out a diary for industrial practice turns into a personal diary.
Tip
A huge plus is if you managed to establish contact with the team. You quickly joined the work, learned a lot, communicating with various interesting people. However, you should not emotionally describe your impressions or relationships with colleagues in the diary.
What must be on the diary pages
A brief report on the practice of a manager, economist, journalist, teacher, lawyer provided in the diary should contain only professional achievements in the learning process. In other words, there should be displayed: the correspondence of the actions to the program of practice from the university, the course of the main work on the task, the result that was achieved without effort, and which caused difficulties. Thus, it is better to start filling out a diary for industrial practice from the first days of your stay. Then there will be no problems with the long execution of all the necessary documents and forms. If you daily record everything that happens at the place of work, then at the end you will only have to transfer your entries to the diary form, as well as draw up a detailed report.
Tip
To make it easier to fill out a business practice diary and report, make it a rule to record your actions immediately during or at the end of the day. For example: working with clients, making phone calls, working with the archive, going to the plant (enterprise) and conducting business negotiations, drawing up commercial offers, etc. Specify these common phrases with your own names and names. This will give specificity and credibility to your notes and will be evidence that this is a practice that you personally have passed, and not skills acquired in general, by the whole group together.
Important to remember
When designing the diary, be sure to indicate the name (yours and the leaders), place of practice (the official
name of the organization) and its terms, as well as collect all signatures and seals certifying the practice.
