the department; procurement office was one of the busiest offices in the Ministry. For
the period of training, he met various people ranging from suppliers, officers with the
Ministry many more visitors. These therefore call for proper office management to
cater for the large number of visitors and the ever.

3.2.2 Skills Acquired
i. Time management skills. The intern learnt a lot on time management skills which was
more of interesting than just managing time. However, it is ones self in relation time

was about controlling the use of most valuable and under valuable resources to make
the organization to meet its intent in the required period of time.
ii. Analytical skills. During the training, the trainee was required to prepare briefs,
review, evaluation reports and give feedback on issues such as the addenda, contracts

program and also be able to do all the activities being assigned to him by the field
supervisor and even to identify how they can be applied in real life situations
especially in procurement department.
iv. Communication skills. The trainee learnt how to communicate to superiors as well as
subordinates. This was important as good communication is important for the work
and output efficiency of team and staff members.
v. Technical skills. These were achieved by advising the user department on what
procedures should be followed when the need arises and on how the users can handle
complex procurements. However, it was also achieved through being involved in
evaluation of bids whereby the technical persons always come from PDU. It was also
through using the PPDA act of 2003 and 2011 amendments where all the rules,
regulations and guidelines on how they can be applied in different methods of
procurement and disposal and give advice to user department based on what they
require.
vi. Office management skills. Given the workload that is levied to the department,
procurement was one of the busiest offices in the Ministry. For the period of training

tasked with preparation of reports, internal memos, preparing Manual Local Purchase
Orders and many others.
viii. Ability to work under pressure. There was less pressure being imposed on the
trainee during work but he learnt that in a situation where you come from home with
all your problems, you need to need to keep calm in a crisis and not too overwhelmed
or stressed.

3.3 Most interesting experiences.
i. The orientation week was so interesting because the intern had a warm welcome by
the staff partner, his supervisor and other departmental colleagues who made him feel
at home hence fitting in the society as other workers.

Kyambade, this was a remarkable experience.
iii. Going out for field work courtesy of the Ministry under some of the projects that
were being carried out which tough me how to carry out research.
3.4 Relatedness of universitys taught programs to the field attached
The principles and the techniques taught at Makerere University are highly related to the field
work that is done at the field attachment place. In addition, the field attachment place enabled
the intern to apply the theory related work into practice as well as enabling me to access
training facilities and resources that are not available at Makerere University. For example
Public Procurement, Law of Contracts, Information and Communication technology among
others.

3.5 Challenges faced and how managed
3.5.1 Challenges
The following were the few challenges the trainee encountered during his stay at the Ministry
of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives;
i. Monotony of work since I was attached to PDU, where by the same activities are done
on daily basis like recording the manual LPOs in the LPO book this limited me from
broader learning environment.

13
Field Attachment Report Of DUCHAN CARSTEN At The Ministry Of Trade, Industry And Cooperatives.

ii. Technicality of the procurement terms used were also a challenge faced by the intern
especially during meetings.
iii. Inadequate work space. There was no enough space to accommodate the intern and
this made it difficult for me to use the office equipment like computers which led to
late accomplishment of tasks.

3.5.2 How Challenges were Managed
i. The trainee always noted down new technical words and always asked the
supervisor during his free time which helped him overcome the challenge of being
ignorant about the terms used in procurement.
ii. The trainee surfed the internet, read procurement literature on top of assignment
as a measure to overcome the challenge of monotony of work.
iii. The intern always carried his laptop to avoid conflict on the inadequate computer
facilities which enabled him to accomplish his tasks despite the few facilities and
limited working space.

3.6 Benefits derived from field attachment
i. Having opportunity to do internship enable the trainee to know whether he like to
work in the field he studies at University and also to experience it. He got to learn the
actual situation in real world, and then when he goes back to finish up his studies, he
will have a better idea of what to focus in his learning.
ii. The field attachment enabled the intern to have an edge in the job market. Employers
are usually more concerned with your work experience than your qualifications and
internships are often the only way to get the work experience you need to secure a
job, so they're a vital part of your resume. Many employers prefer or require
applicants who have done an internship or relevant work experience and in many of
the more competitive job markets it is essential to set you apart from the others hence
this will be of advantage to the interns after his studies.
iii. The field attachment has helped the intern to decide if this is the right career for him.
The intern was not sure if this is the right career for him, but internship was a great
way to try it out. Internship was short, but it was able to test his future career without
committing and find out if it is a career that will satisfy him.

14
Field Attachment Report Of DUCHAN CARSTEN At The Ministry Of Trade, Industry And Cooperatives.

iv. The intern gained networking opportunities from the field attachment which was a
great way to meet people in the interns field. Internship allowed the intern to meet
people of all kinds and status who might help him land a job later on and give him the
contacts in the industry he is trying to break into. Plus, references from people in the
industry will really add weight to his application.
v. Applied Classroom Knowledge. An internship was seen as the pinnacle of his
undergraduate education and give him the chance to use the skills he has learnt in the
classroom in a real-world setting. Its was a chance to prove the worth of his
qualifications and to show that he can perform in the role he had been given.
vi. Gained confidence. Getting experience is a great way to build confidence. After field
attachment the intern is confident enough to face any job interviewers after the
training and guidance he went through while in the field hence he will be able to
supplement his assertion with examples during interviews while searching for a job.
3.7 Adequacy in universitys preparing the students for field attachment
The university integrates field attachment program into the university curricula and it
provides overall institutional management of the internship program to all relevant students
responsible for that program. The University still develops a monitoring and evaluation
criteria for the attachment program which includes the code of conduct of students.
The University goes ahead to build field attachment expenses in the university fees structure
and budget, prepares letter of introduction and other necessary documents for example;
students evaluations form, log books, journals and guidelines for field attachment report
writing.
Therefore the university has adequate guidelines for preparing student for field attachment
hence a credit to the university.
3.8 Preparedness of the agency to receive and manage students for field attachment
The Ministry of Trade Industry and Cooperative whole heartedly received and managed
interns from various Universities around the country and they are usually oriented on the very
first day of reporting for internship and later each intern is assigned a field supervisor who is
meant to guide the trainee throughout his entire stay at the Ministry.
The Human Resource Manager Mrs. Muwonge designed a program to assess and evaluate all
Interns towards the end of the internship where they converge in the board room and present
their experience and what they have learnt from the Ministry and award marks as well.

15
Field Attachment Report Of DUCHAN CARSTEN At The Ministry Of Trade, Industry And Cooperatives.

In a nut shell, the Ministry of trade industry and cooperative was a very conducive place for
interns to carry out their training from.

4.0 Chapter Four: Conclusion And Recommendations
4.1 Conclusion
Internship has been such a great experience for me because was exposed to the field of
procurement. It has given me wide knowledge on how to take on different challenges in the
procurement sector thus helping me to enlighten my thinking and mind on how to overcome
them and also how to manage different resources in order to obtain better results which are
developmental to the society. It has enabled me to apply most of the theory into practice in
order to widen my knowledge and skills. It has helped me achieve knowledge about the
different aspects regarding preparation of documents.
To this I was able to obtain a clear understanding on issues concerned with preparation of
reports, recording of bids and others and those not clearly understood in lecture environment.
Therefore, I urge all students to take this industrial training as crucial.

4.2 Recommendations
I would recommend my internship to others because it has been interesting, molding me into
a good time manager, a good analyst and learner that is being flexible to learn a variety of
activities. I did not know much before for instance preparing evaluation reports, writing
minutes and agenda, and forwarding letters among others.

To the University. The University supervisor should check on the placed students more
frequently to properly monitor and appraise the students.
The University should come up with some organizations in which students can be well
trained for an appropriate time because the employment environment is searching for
experienced people yet the experience we get from internship is not enough, which leads to
high rates of unemployment and older people remaining in office because they have the skills
needed.
I would highly recommend anyone to carry out their internship MTIC for it provides the
suitable environment and facilitation required to carry out a successful internship.
