"Someone with zero experience can turn out to be the best experienced." I definitely started with no experience but I have grown because someone, some persons, an institution, gave me the opportunity. From academic internships, thro work internships, voluntary services etc I have been assigned three times as site supervisor for interns and volunteers. While executing these I observed the following in relation to neophytes 1. A certain *lack* of self esteem/self confidence in relation to tasks these are supposedly expected to deliver Eg having interns/volunteers unable to demonstrate knowledge of basic Microsoft office skills to extent of submitting reports handwritten: low rate of consciousness towards work ethics and sense of professionalism, little efforts towards taking initiatives and collaboration etc. Interns, Volunteers have to be able to understand that institutions are not out of campus structures. These are already work oriented thus they need to be seen as "contributing" rather than "depending" 2. Organizations, though having passed through such a stage,hardly have processes, procedures, policies towards a holistic management of such new team mates to training them and opening them to opportunities. Thus it's often an unfortunate situation where sometimes how much new team mates get to learn tend to depend on the versatility of the supervisor. And in most cases when such new team mates show characteristic of 1 above, it plays negatively on how the institution may treat or manage others that come after. Notwithstanding, 🫴There are corporate bodies that have as policy the acceptance of such persons into their team via the same or more adapted recruitment process. In this case interns or volunteers would have to apply and be engaged and evaluated. This method is good but the issue of cost remains a challenge to the institution saw
