Web-based Internship Management System for Lyceum of the Philippines University - Cavite

Abstract

One of the missions of Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite (LPU – Cavite) is to provide equitable access to learning through relevant, innovative, industry-based, and environment-conscious programs and services for their stakeholders. The internship is one of the programs of the University that provides students the opportunity to determine their career goals, apply the knowledge they have acquired from the University, and secure their network and good recommendations before they graduate. Being mentioned how important an internship is, LPU – Cavite is expected to have an efficient procedure and an effective system that could support the program throughout the years. However, it is discovered that the University is using the traditional manual system with the process of the internship. After a thorough review of the existing procedures, the proponent proposed to apply digital modernization to the current process. A web-based internship management system was developed to eliminate problems that are caused by the manual procedure and provide the client definite solutions and improve the customer service quality that they can offer to their stakeholders. The system aims to bring convenience to the students, create easier communication between the affiliated Host Training Establishments and students, and provide a platform for efficient monitoring of the submitted documents and handling of reports. However, the proponent excluded the integration of the grading system into the management system as there is still an existing protocol that needs a separate study on how both systems can co-exist with one another. Additionally, it must be known that all reports generated by the system are patterned with the existing templates used by the client. Should there be any changes in the future must be coordinated with the Information and Technology Department, which will maintain the system, for any revisions.
