media as illustrated below.

recording using a video from the camera or capture it from the screen. While applying the
application no watermark, no root needed and no recording time limit.
CANVA

Photoshop. The only difference with Canva is that it’s an online application but can be
used create good designs. For example I was able to design a poster

WEB DESIGNING
Web design refers to the design of websites that are displayed on the internet. It usually
refers to the user experience aspects of website development rather than software
development. During web designing, we were working on the appearance, layout, and, in
some cases, content of a website. Appearance, for instance, relates to the colors, font, and
images used.
Am also equally working on my personal website that is not yet online because it is still
under development localhost/nampelaannita/wp-admin.
Using Wordpress to design a website
With word press, you can also design a web site.



NEW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS GAINED
Skills and new knowledge gained
I greatly improved on my confidence in problem solving for having interacted with a
variety of people from different IT expertise.
The internship helped me to acquire new knowledge and practical skills and also
improving on my communication skills on how to cooperate with different people in a
new working environment.
Networking
Technical skills are necessary but insufficient for succeeding in management. In today’s
increasingly competitive and demanding workplace, employees can’t succeed on their
technical skills alone. They also need to have good communication skills.
This is exactly the positive plus I have acquired out of the technical trainings. Via the
networking, I have learnt how to work with, understand and motivate other people, both
individually and in groups.
From the wordpress application, I was able to attain the following skills
and knowledge:




I have used wordpress to design a website of my own.
I also used the elementor to edit the website e.g. font family, color, slides, gallery.
I have also managed to create a gallery for photos in my website.
I used the elementor to edit the contact page.
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER STAFF AND SUPERVISOR
My working relationship with Ezone web services
There was a strong collaboration and good networking with the working team staff
members were so parental, friendly, and supportive and guided us thought out our
training.
They helped us in different fields were necessary and always encouraged us.
Mr. Mutai James was our field supervisor and he guided us while in the field to perform
all the responsibilities effectively.
PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED AND HOW THEY WERE HANDLED
How I managed the problems
I was able to catch up with the new Organisation working staff members and I also
managed to understand some cooperatives and I am now knowledgeable and exposed to
the running around of the real world in IT.
7
CONCLUSION
In a nut shell, despite a few challenges this internship training has been so practical and
has greatly impacted and contributed a lot to us both socially and professionally.
The training has helped us to understand what actually happens in the field and associate
with different cooperatives, potential people and other experts in IT department along
their different value chains of IT enterprises they take on. Thus internship helps student to
work with experts indifferent fields of computing
8
RECOMENDATION
E-zone Web Services as an Organisation should endeavor to continue giving more
students opportunities of internship as it is institutionally based with institution thematic
areas for professional growth in IT.
Every student should be allowed a chance to get this experience.
