design. There is no specified dress code nor tags, we (siwes students) treated much like a staff
and demands for performance, delivery of tasks to meet deadlines are very high.

On assumption to duty at the department, after the initial familiarization, I was made to
understand among many other things that the IT World is a fast paced one and that there is no
room for laziness, idleness if one must go far with his skills, the approach of the department is
that we work as a team and learn by doing.

The Transcription industry is really growing very fast and there are so many jobs out there for
trained transcriptionists, especially freelance transcriptionist.
I transcribed a lot of audio and videos during my siwes program. I did lot for clients. I transcribe
using VLC as Transcription software. Otter.ai is a web-app I was introduced to that makes
transcription a lot easier. It is an artificial intelligence web-app that transcribes audio files, if you
want to transcribe a video using otter.ai, you have to convert the video into audio using VLC,
then upload it on otter.ai and it converts it to text format within a period of time. But as a
transcriptionist you still need to proof read and edit the document.

CHAPTER 3
THE CHALLENGES FACED
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no task that does not pose a challenge but the atmosphere created by our supervisor
makes such challenges a great learning and fun experience for us.
The major challenge I faced was trying to meet up with clients job and cumbersome assignments
given to me and I have to make sure the both are ready before the due date assigned to me. It was
a bit stressful.
The other challenge was the volume of materials I was expected to study and come up with a
solution during the brain-storming sessions.

CHAPTER 4
OBSERVATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
4.0 OBSERVATIONS
As a student my first observation was the cognition of the difference between the school
environment and the corporate world.
The expectation about Computer Science student is very high. Most tasks were thrown at
me in particular as the students with most excellent academic record. I thank God; I was
able to live up to expectation.
The company makes little to no room of break period especially during peak periods of
so many jobs with short deadlines.
A leader has to create an enabling environment to get the best out of his team in
seemingly difficult situations.
4.1. CONTRIBUTIONS
21
Adebule Victoria Moyosola F/ND/18/3210164
My contributions to the team at the web development unit were second to none because of the
passion I had for the web and technology.
My ability to adapt to new technologies and learn new things on short notices was commended
by my supervisor.
I was able to represent the company at various times to meet with clients and discuss their
requirements.
I also brought my experience to bear on the team most times making me to train other interns in
our spare time.
The relevance of the experiences gained at Dordave Enterprise can be linked to the following
courses:-

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.0 CONCLUSION
My four months Industrial attachment was a huge success, a great time of acquisition of
knowledge and demonstration of skills. I would like to conclude that the purpose for the
industrial attachment before my second year in higher institution, especially for a period for as
long as given, was very much achieved. My experience in the area of Article writing, Audio and
video editing, Transcription, web design, online graphic design, ecommerce, social media

Also in addition to this is the opportunity I see in Nigeria through efficient use of digital
marketing an aspect of web development that has not been fully tapped.
I have been able to discover that there are numerous web projects out there waiting to be done as
most companies are yet to have their websites, domain names auctioning and hosting services yet
to be fully harnessed.
In the area of entrepreneurship, the experience gathered has helped me understand how to
interact with new and existing clients, come up with proposals to write to new clients and
The relevance of the experience gained here at Dordave Enterprise and the volume of projects
coupled with the exposure to new trends in web development will no doubt have a major role to
The experience has also opened my eyes to the reality of the misconception among the teeming
jobless youths in our society. I made bold to say that there are jobs enough to eradicate
joblessness in our society when the potentials of ICT Skills are fully harnessed.
1.1 RECOMMENDATION
I want to use this means to make the following recommendations concerning the Industrial
training of students:
I would like to recommend that the Computer Science Curriculum in Yaba College of
