Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Internship Description


An internship is an opportunity that an employer offers to students interested in gaining
work experience in specific industries, and an important step to building a solid career.
Internships offer students a hands-on opportunity to work in their desired field. They
learn how their course of study applies to the real world and build a valuable experience
that makes them stronger candidates for jobs after graduation (The Essential Benefits of
Internships, n.d.).
Internship is job training for students that have been prepared by school and institution to
apply formal education to the field. According to Akplu, F.H et.al (2008) (Industry &
Mandebvu, 2012) defines that the internship program has a component that allows
students to experience real situations in the industry that help them practice the theories.
An IT operator is a professional responsible for the deployment, maintenance, and
management of an organization's IT infrastructure. Their work typically involves ensuring
that computer systems, networks, servers, and software applications are running smoothly
and efficiently. This report is a compilation of my internship experience in Installing,
configuring, and updating hardware and software components of the IT infrastructure.
Likewise monitoring and managing network and server performance to ensure uptime and
availability, troubleshooting hardware and software issues and resolving them as quickly
as possible as well as managing data backup and disaster recovery processes to ensure the
integrity and availability of data. Further providing technical support to end-users and
resolving issues related to computer systems and software applications. Not only this
much c conducting regular security audits to ensure the safety of the IT infrastructure
from external threats and keeping up to date with the latest trends and advancements in
the field of IT. At the conclusion we cany say that, the work of an IT operator is crucial
for ensuring the smooth functioning of an organization's IT infrastructure, which is
essential for the efficient running of business operations.

1.2 Problem Definition


There can be several problems that an IT users may face in their day-to-day work. Some
of the common problems include:

IT operations teams to identify issues and troubleshoot them effectively. This problem
can be addressed by implementing monitoring tools and creating dashboards that provide
real-time insights into system performance.
Skills Shortage: The IT industry is constantly evolving, and IT operations teams need to
keep up with the latest technologies and trends. However, there is a shortage of skilled IT
professionals, which can make it challenging for organizations to recruit and retain
qualified IT operations staff.
At all, these problems can have a significant impact on an organization's IT operations
and require a proactive approach to address and mitigate their impact.

1.3 Objectives
The objective of an IT operator in an organization is to ensure the smooth functioning of
the organization's IT infrastructure, which is essential for the efficient running of daily
well-functioning. operations of various software and hardware resources used in an
organization. Some of the key objectives of an IT operator in a company include:
 To ensure availability of IT infrastructure
 To ensure security and data protection

2.6 Literature Review


Internships are widely viewed as a “high-impact practice” (HIP) that improves college
students’ career outcomes, with some calling for postsecondary institutions to mandate
internships as a graduation requirement (Busteed & Auter, 2017) or to at least strongly
encourage students to participate in them during their college careers (Kuh, 2008).
Advocacy for internships is supported by a growing body of interdisciplinary and
international research demonstrating that internships can have positive impacts on
students’ employment (Nunley et al., 2015), academic achievement (Parker III et al.,
2016), and developmental outcomes such as confidence in one’s career trajectory
(Ocampo et al., 2020). Coupled with growing pressure on colleges and universities to
cultivate students’ “employability” (Tomlinson & Holmes, 2016), internships are
quickly becoming a central feature of institutional strategies for enhancing student
success in the early 21st century. These efforts to enhance student employability and a
corresponding advocacy for internships is evident across the entire postsecondary
landscape, but in Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) there is a special focus on these

7
issues given historical inequalities in accessing education, jobs and other opportunities
for students of color. In Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) there is a growing emphasis
on students’ post-graduate career success, fueled by goals ranging from diversifying the
workforce (Sansone et al., 2019) to a commitment towards enhancing the social mobility
of Latinx students (Martinez & Santiago, 2020).1 Although a robust body of literature
exists on the unique cultural features of HSIs and Latinx student outcomes in HSIs
(Garcia et al., 2019; Nunez, 2014), the experiences of Latinx students with the world of
work (e.g., Nuñez & Sansone, 2016) and career development (e.g, Leal-Muniz &
Constantine, 2005; Risco & Duffy, 2011), the literature on internship programs in HSIs
is not as well developed. This is a critical issue facing the field of work-based learning
(WBL), internships and HIPs, as it is possible that the design, implementation and
ultimate effects of college internships may (or should) vary according to the unique
institutional contexts of MSIs and students’ racial identities and cultural backgrounds.
This idea is based on research demonstrating that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to
teaching and learning, student affairs, and career development ignores both historic and
structural inequalities while also overlooking the unique needs, circumstances and
potentials of a diverse student body. For instance, research on culturally relevant
pedagogy underscores the need to reject deficit-oriented frames and acknowledge
marginalized students’ experiences (Ladson-Billings, 1995), and on the racialized (and
discriminatory) nature of institutional practices and the allocation of resources (Harper,
2009; Ray, 2019), demonstrate how policies, practices and thus student experiences in
higher education are decidedly not “innocent” or race-neutral. This is especially true for
Latinx students, as the evidence indicates that students of color often opt out of
internships and related career development opportunities due to preconceived concerns
about ethnic and racial discrimination, misalignment with college major and employer
expectations, and the suitability of employer culture for Latinx populations (Berríos-
Allison, 2005; Leal-Muniz & Constantine, 2005; Poon, 2014; Sweeney & Villarejo,
2013).

In digital and multimedia learning computer is an fundamental equipment to create
contents to represent them to the learners and on the experimental method also. Computer
education has become essential qualification for almost all types of jobs. Since computers
ensure effective, time saving and accurate results of jobs it is being widely used in

organizations and personal use alike. Computer revolutionizes the way of study while
making education smoother and quicker. It also connects us to different sources, which
show us different ways to understand a particular topic or idea. In general, a computer has
helped the education world and also has changed the way we work & learn. Hence to
provide access of computer to all student the Vspace server is very helpful and very
useful.

An IT operator plays an important role in managing a vSpace server, which is a virtual


desktop and application delivery solution developed by NComputing. Some of the key
responsibilities of an IT operator in vSpace server management include:
1. Installing and configuring the vSpace server: The IT operator is responsible for
installing and configuring the vSpace server software on the host computer. This
involves setting up the server environment, creating user accounts, and configuring
the server settings.
2. Managing user accounts: The IT operator is responsible for creating and managing
user accounts in the vSpace server. This involves assigning permissions, setting up
user profiles, and managing user groups.
3. Monitoring server performance: The IT operator is responsible for monitoring the
performance of the vSpace server, including CPU usage, memory usage, and
network traffic. They need to ensure that the server is running smoothly and
efficiently.
4. Troubleshooting server issues: The IT operator is responsible for identifying and

Chapter 4: Conclusion and Learning Outcomes

4.1 Conclusion and Learning Outcomes


Internships provide students with an opportunity to put into practice skills they have
learned while in school. In addition, students should have an opportunity to enhance those
skills, obtain the perspective of a work environment and benefit from a mentor or
supervisor's experience and advice. In vSpace Server management while working as an IT
Operator, we can learn variety of skills related to the administration and configuration of
a virtualization solution as well as different skill related to hardware and software
resources management and overall solutions of those problems which could occur in
workstation. Here are some of the key areas we can expect to develop expertise in:
