My Co-Op Experience At Venture Connection Startup

Partnership working has been shown to have benefits for staff; it has been found to give more clarity regarding roles and responsibilities and is also linked with lower levels of stress.

My organization uses Cerner for the computer program and because of this culture change, there was a close relation with Cerner personnel who were present during “go live” to help with the smooth transition. According to Cresswell & Sheikh, (2009) having a collaborative relationship with the designer and the end-user is important for the evaluation of the product.

If we examine our existence through a dichotomous lens of internal and external experiences, it is easier to understand the importance of graphic design. Everyone, to some extent, is trapped within themselves. There is me in here, and you in there—a separation exists. We find common ground in the external world where there are certain rules that most of us have agreed to play by. Graphic design functions as a catalyst for either strengthening or disintegrating these rules. It screams, “Continue! Begin! Stop!” The graphic designer must work through the external world, understand its rules, and journey through their internal world in search of a project’s solution. If the solution is successful,

The lead product designer D. Keith Robinson, in his word, ‘In my experience…Going out of your way to look at things from different angles, get differing points of view, and work with people from different backgrounds or disciplines will result in many more opportunities and options to explore.’ (Robinson, 2015) It can be seen that Atlassian’s values fit its employees and it attracts many of talented people to work for the company.

I interact with the mobile dental van. This van goes within the community to help the underserved population that lack access to care for various reasons. As far as the Dobbs Ferry Campus van come to campus and serve a huge population of children, who otherwise may not receive the appropriate care that is needed. They are referred out to specialties if needed. They provide care to the limited secured detention’s youth who are locked down and is not allow to roam free on campus. They provide care to the foster children that are followed by the clinic in the Bronx. It is a way to meet and provide care for the target population within their community. I also deal with the Family Assistance Program that houses

Collaboration involves negotiation and consensus seeking (Blais & Hayes, 2016). As the assistant director of nursing, I am a member of the Quality Improvement committee. Our purpose is to meet on a monthly basis to review feedbacks from patients regarding their home health aides. We need to know if the patient needs are being met, if they are being treated with respect and what improvements can be made to keep quality aides in order to ensure quality care of patients. Providing good care for home health patients with chronic conditions needs to be organized and coordinated (Barr & Ross, 2007).

The Program Team Co-Director is a position that requires an understanding and passion for equity, inclusion and, even more vital, intersectionality. This understanding leads me to believe this position is a great fit for my skills and proficiencies, particularly in using an intersectional framework within my approach to equity. Additionally, coming from a higher education background, I have a great deal of experience with programming. As I mentioned, I am always working toward being a positive influence on institutional success and one of my personal goals is to have a large-scale impact on every community I am part of. The university environment offers a unique opportunity to work with people at a transitional point in their lives; meaning

I sit here staring at the screen of my computer trying to determine which programs to apply for and if I will apply to college or university. Deciding my future is so difficult. A few months ago you would have never caught me even considering college. I had also never considered recreation and leisure. It was not until I began my co-op in July 2016 that I finally began to consider recreation and leisure as an option. When I first decided to do the co-op program as a recreation assistant at a retirement home, I thought it would be an easy two credits, a way out of getting a summer job and something fun to do in July during the summer holidays. While my first reasons to participate in the co-op program were correct, my co-op experience was much more than that. I loved the relationships I created with the residents and the activities I participated in. My experience had my mind thinking this could be a future career for me. Further, when I began to consider recreation and leisure, I had only considered it from a university perspective. That was until my third week at Guelph Lake Commons when I spent a day with the firefighter changing the smoke

At USD, I am part of the Collaborate LLC. One of the benefits of this community is the opportunity to sit in on a class called ‘Civic Engagement in the US and South Africa’. Both this class and my own LLC class are focused on the concept of collaboration. This central theme was evident in the topics being taught, as well as the teaching style. The instructor fostered a very personal, yet difficult conversation with the students by asking follow up questions. He encouraged students to expand on their answers and often these answers lead to additional questions that the student continued to discuss. He encouraged other students to make comments, question other students and even ask questions of their own. This led to an open and welcoming

Co-lead a 4-week session with Mark Abell by introducing concept of Research, Design, and Prototyping to PTMs who interested in improve their UX design skill. Each session was broken down into small topics such as CUJ, workflow diagrams, hand sketching, wireframes, mockups, and rapid prototyping with Acey. There were 33 participants signed

A few years ago I reached a pivotal point in all young ballet students lives - partnering. Partnering or ‘pas de deux’ is where two dancers move in conjunction with one another. Despite how easy and graceful most professional dancers are capable of making partnering look, it is initially daunting and awkward in the introductory stages. I distinctly remember how uncomfortable I was during my first few pas de deux classes - people I barely knew were taking the liberty of moving my body into dangerous positions! This was a very strange sensation, as it requires a sense of trust between the two partners. I did not trust my partner. I was terrified of doing anything outside of my comfort zone, because I thought I would either get dropped on my face,

Regarding the job posting on the BCIT co-op website, I would enjoy the opportunity to join your analytical laboratory as a summer co-op student. Allergy, Saliva, and serum or plasma tests that are offered by Stero-Chrom and the opportunity to learn new lab skills including ELISA have grabbed my interest greatly. As an NSERC eligible, second-year student of the UBC-BCIT Honours in Biotechnology Program, I am certain that I have developed myself as a strong candidate for this position with various lab skills, communication skills, multitasking skills, related work experience, and the ability to work independently and in teams.

EcoLab was the first company I talked to. The company focuses on providing clean water, sustainable energy, and safe food to the market through research and development. Their summer recruiting was taking place at the career fair. They took my resume and said they would send out an email in the evening for prospective internship interviews that would take place the following day. Since I did not receive an email from them, I presume that it is not possible for me to get an internship position with them for this upcoming summer. Like many other companies that were represented at the career fair, they mainly were looking to recruit upperclassmen (juniors and seniors). If given the opportunity, I would like to intern with them in the

I’ve been thinking about how I might grow Ben and Michel’s collaboration, and how I can use their work to other children to think creatively. Making an island using feather was really good imagination. Next time I will provide more playdough so they can make enough people. Also I want to add other symbols stamps that are not familiar to children. Therefore, children can explore and shape the playdough together. Michel and Ben’s work on the table push myself to create more opportunities for collaboration and co-operation.

Learning the fundamentals of Digital Media is essential to laying a solid foundation to allow for a sturdy backing in digital design. Digital design theories, practices, and technologies can provide designers a stable of skills to build core competencies and over time wisdom. Mastering digital design fundamentals will provide opportunity for career growth. Depending on the industry, an entry-level designer can rise from senior designer, to art director, and then creative director. As digital media continues to mature, categorical design disciplines will continue to evolve, shape, and style the visual culture. From magazines to web pages, the spectrum of visual design will continue to move people everywhere on an emotional level.
