Over 4 weeks I was
heavily involved as a
Networking intern.
This meant generally
assisting the IT team
at Dumfries House
and working on the IT
systems for the whole
of Dumfries Estate. I
got to find out more
about the whole IT
system, from finance
to social media.
The social media
Although I didn’t
for Dumfries House
have to do a work
experience placement is already in place,
as part of the course, my role was more
to raise awareness
I did get offered an
of the social media,
internship at
adding photos of the
Dumfries House at
the end of the course, estate, showing what’s
happening at
for the summer. It
Dumfries House.
was absolutely
brilliant!
My time at the college
really helped me
UNEMPLOYED has
grow up as person,
and made me realise
NC
that a career in the
IT industry is what I
HND
want to do. I’m totally
focused now, and just
INTERN
want to get on and do
UNIVERSITY
it! It’s been a fantastic
growing and learning
INDUSTRY
experience for me.
Ayrshire College
was local to me,
and provides good
courses. What I
learned from my
course ranged from
routing technology, to
basic troubleshooting
to general technical
support. I’ve learned
so much in my time
here.
“I DIDN’T
HAVE
TO DO A
PLACEMENT
BUT I GOT
OFFERED
ONE.”
My future plans
are to continue my
studies. I’ve got a
place at Abertay
University, where
I will be studying
towards an honours
degree in Computing
and Networking
and eventually plan
to work in the IT
industry.
