Linking school and work


We are getting closer to issue a request for sponsorship (RFS) for the defibrillators located in public facing areas in different facilities of the city government. I have to say that I have learned a lot during this process because there are so many details that came up during the process which are not always very easy to predict in advance. Furthermore, is very exciting to see the developing process of a project since inception. I am also very glad that I had the opportunity to contribute with my opinion and propose ideas for the (RFS).
Once the RFS is issued another interesting process begins, because different companies will bid on this opportunity, thus one offer must be chosen. After a company wins the biding process, the implementation process starts, which will probably be next year. I think it is very important to link what we learn in the academic field to what actually happens in reality. For instance, last semester I took a course where I studied the bidding processes that a government has to go through in order to outsource a service and now during this internship I am actually seeing real examples by learning a lot on how request for proposals and request for sponsorships actually work.
