Minor Travel Report (FTS)

Seminar Overview

            As we get into our course we are already required to take Field Trip and Seminars which is included in our curriculum. Field Trip and Seminars is an educational movement or program of the student where they are able experience different training organizations from different places. The purpose of the trip is usually observation for education, non-experimental research or to provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities, such as going camping with teachers and their classmates. The aim of this is to inform us student to the newest innovation and companies that deals with different kinds of technologies that could be helpful to us in the near future. Through this we are able to learn important tips and information on such thing that we come across as we travel.

Day 1

            On August 28, 2014 we are given a chance to visit Synnex-Concentrix that is located in Damosa Davao City. It serves as the minor field trip that is base in here Cagayan. As we tour inside their company I also learned different things that are new to me. Concentrix is a big Data Center that is divided into different sections of employee. They do not focus on one thing but they allow performing other tasks. They have also their Call center which catches my attention because I've already been in Call center but it didn't take too long. I was surprised because they have provided beds for the call center agent and a computer laboratory which they allow their employee to surf different sites in the internet which is pretty amazing. They have also their canteen and colorful comfort rooms. As we go into different rooms we are able to enter in Application Developer Laboratory and I have noticed familiar faces which are also our schoolmates in IC department.

What I learned?

            As I go along with the visit in the Concentrix I learned that starting with a business requires a big amount of effort and dedication. Many employees have survived in the field of becoming a call center agent and becoming an application developer which is one of hardest part of becoming an Information technology student. I also learned their different processes in hiring applicants which will base on the results of the exam that will be taken by them.

What I like?

            What I like the most during the tour is that they are able to take care of their employees they can provide the different needs by giving it to them. They have the proper aspects of seeing things righteously because one also of the advantage of providing the needs of an individual is that they will perform well in their job because they knew that they are being loved by the Company that their working. Like having rooms and beds if in case the employee needs to rest and one thing that catches my attention is the online medicine kit that allows you to buy online and it is available inside in the Company.

What I didn’t like?

            Actually I can’t say any complain regarding with their performance because it’s pretty amazing and it’s almost having the right aspects of handling companies.

APPENDIX

What can I recommend for the improvement of the advance seminar program of USEP?

            For the improvement of the advance seminar program in USeP I will recommend to also gather more information about the companies that are really providing the right facilities and can give knowledgeable information towards the student to enhance their ability or skills.

My advice to those who will take their advance seminar program in the near future.           

 One thing that I can advice to those batches that will take advance seminar program is that they will choose the company that can really help them and will suites their needs as IT students. They should also prepare their self in going to different places and be ready always.
