Internship in IT & Programming
IT can be anything from creating and maintaining computer programs and apps, to networking and communicating over the internet, to managing data and solving technical problems. It also includes areas such as web development, computer networking, and cybersecurity.
Programming
You will have the chance to develop websites and help with both modeling and programming. During your internship, you will receive training in different coding languages. With this knowledge, you'll be able to clean and refactor code, and eventually create your own functions.
More tasks in programming
- Learn coding and different programming languages such as PHP and MySQL
- Develop and refactor code for mobile applications
- Building websites and creating features that improve the user experience
- Support in the implementation of new IT solutions
Develop apps
One of your tasks could be to develop a mobile app that shows available parking spaces on your company's premises. You can also be tasked with creating an app that helps employees understand difficult abbreviations in different departments, which can be very useful for new hires and in the work of knowledge management. In addition, you can explore the possibility of developing an application where employees can report sick leave.
Testing activities
In the testing business, you can measure the quality of mobile networks, such as the company's own test networks. You will sift out and analyze data from tests in networks abroad, load controllers with new software, calibrate and test programs, and report bugs. You will also test programs based on different user profiles and requirement specifications.
IT security: a growing area
IT security has become increasingly important as more companies and organizations digitize their operations. An IT security internship can give you the opportunity to learn about how companies protect their systems against cyberattacks and other security threats. During an internship, you can analyze alarms from surveillance systems and identify potential security problems, as well as work on developing and implementing solutions to improve security.
You may also be given tasks such as examining the company's current security solutions and making suggestions for improvements, or conducting tests to ensure that systems and networks are resilient to different types of attacks. IT security is an area that requires constant development and knowledge, and an internship in this field can give you an invaluable insight into how businesses work to protect their digital assets.
Examples of tasks in IT security
- Analyze alarms from surveillance systems
- Troubleshoot software and network security issues
- Test and implement security solutions
- Conduct safety analyses and suggest improvements
Research and analysis
You can conduct an external analysis, collect data, troubleshoot and handle operational disruptions, systematize material and work with method development or mapping. An example of this could be to investigate how healthcare today works with E-health. You will also analyze alarms from surveillance systems or devices with software errors and compile the results.
Generally
During your internship, you will learn a lot about web development. For example, you may be tasked with examining the company's website and providing suggestions for technical, design, and communicative improvements. You will map the users' needs for the website and implement new technical systems and solutions. In addition, you can support field technicians, work with requirements for IT solutions, create a service catalog for IT and install operating systems for cloud technology on computer clusters.
