EY Advisory Consultant Program: Technology Advisory Program Internship Technical Report
Intro
Ernst & Young (EY) is a professional services firm headquartered in London. The main service lines of EY include Assurance, Tax Advisory, Consulting, and Financial Advisory. This summer, I interned at their San Francisco Office under the National Advisory Services program (i.e. Consulting). Essentially, the work involved consulting services to clients. To be more specific, consulting involves improving efficiency which is what Industrial and Systems Engineering is all about – consulting work is generally improving existing systems, overhauling outdated methods/processes, and innovating new solutions to solve a problem or improve certain aspects.

Though, I was able to apply some of the concrete concepts, I found exercising the logical engineering thought process of breaking down problems and carefully synthesizing information to be very helpful and exhilarating. For example, a lot of the problems I encountered at work were very abstract and difficult to approach; but, I was able to solve these problems using the industrial engineering thought process by defining the problem, segmenting it, breaking it down, focusing on logical and feasible concrete steps, synthesizing all of this information, and finally executing and implementing this process. The next section provides this in more detail with the type of work that was explored by me during the internship.
Work Value
Some background information regarding work entailed: Since there was a strict confidentiality agreement with EY and their client (please refer to the EY Code of Conduct and EY Privacy Statement), I am not able to provide the exact details and project information that I worked on. As such, I will have to edit some of the details and write about very similar procurement/sourcing problems instead; though, the nature and type of engineering work and the work value is strictly preserved. In general, my work essentially entailed improving and streamlining a company’s procurement/sourcing process who struggled with high costs (both time and money). Detailed below are steps that I have explored using Industrial and Systems concepts and

Overall after reading the text InternQube: Professional Skills for the Workplace, this text was very useful as well as interesting. I was able to get a better understanding on what type of mindset I should have going into the workplace every day. This includes daily goals and routines, the way I should professional dress, how I should conduct myself on a professional level in front of people of higher status. InternQube was excellent for my first couple weeks at my internship Stenton Family Manor. First I was able to write up daily work objectives to what I needed to get done for the day. These objectives consist of work practices that would better help me in my field of management. I develop questions for myself such as, what does it take
When deploying new products into an organization that contain elements you do no have experience with, like new technology, considered the human factors in the implementation process to reduce issues that may arise. When implementing new technology within a company, make sure that end users contribute into the design process and that the end user will benefit from the change. Managers should communicate constantly and effectively, involve employees, and leadership to endorse the technology and the change process.
Abstract: As I look back on my internship at Clayton State University, I am supremely thankful for the experience. I entered this with three main learning objectives: to learn and experience the operation of an enterprise IT infrastructure, to learn and experience enterprise database administration, and to learn and experience enterprise networking. Nine since the commencement of this internship, I can say with confidence that I have met my goals. Leading up to this, I feel like my past experiences have prepared me. Though I did not know everything, I used what I previously learned. The tasks and projects given to me allowed me to become part of an organization. Furthermore, having the opportunity to sit one-on-one with multiple people in the department expanded my palate within the spectrum of IT. All in all, this was a successful, beneficial experience.
Understanding how things work, taking it apart through analysis and then re-assembling the whole from its parts is what captivates me. It has been clear now for some time that engineering is what I want to do in later life and this combination of inquisitiveness, together with an analytical mind and a feel for basic engineering is why I want to study this subject at university. At college I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering which I am enjoying and excelling at in the subject. My time at college is helping me to gain more confidence in my academic ability. Teachers constantly challenge me to achieve more and set my goals high.
The panel addressed their internship experiences and how it has affected them along their career. It came down to a consensus that learning in the classroom gives you the intelligence to work in the field, but hands on experience is what helps creates the skills necessary for success. Developing soft skills by working in an office is only possible through internships. The connections made and the network built will help you with future references. When placed in front of an employer, past internships will give you

It is now March and I have been at my internship for two months and I cannot begin to discuss how much information that I have obtained. Every day I learn something new or a new tactic of tackling an issue with a client. I truly feel that everything that I have learned I can apply to functional practice. The GIM model allow me to gain knowledge on a client and together we can find a way to aid the situation. I am literally looking onto someone’s life and assessing issues that are taking place in their life journey.
For engineering study, there are four parts to introduce separately.Goal setting, Community Building, Academic development and Personal Development. Those are the basic methods to get high level understanding and learning.
PYB has had a history of workers suffering of a work-related injury at work and not returning to work for an elongated amount of time. This accredited to their high 1.60 mod and not a program to incentive workers to return back to work. The longer that it takes for workers to return, the more it will cost PYB in the future when their WC premium skyrockets.
An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.
