Summer Internship: Week 5

Week 5:

Current Week Objectives - Shadow team members and attend mandatory Intern meetings

This week I was able to shadow a Product Owner, UI Tech Lead, Developer, and UCD.

I am in the process of writing up an in depth description of each IT position and the key responsibilities associated with the position. I plan on sharing it with the other interns at Vanguard, so that they can learn more and use that knowledge in their groups. I was asked by a manager to send the document to him when I am done so that they can give it to new interns in the future. When I am finished I will attach a link here to access the document.

To understand what I will be doing next, I need to understand the business side of the project and financial terms I was not familiar with. I spent the week learning about this.
Hours Worked: I completed a total of 39.00 hours during my fifth week (June 23rd - June 27th).

Next Week Objectives - Next week I will have overviews with a Mid-Tier developer, and Database Programmer.

Key Lessons Learned/New Skills Acquired - Learned finance terms and business of Vanguard. Learned about JAXB, similar to serialization and deserialization in C#.
