I am a student of BS Automotive Engineering at University of Engineering and

Technology, Lahore. I started my UET career in September,2023. Since then, I have evolved day
by day in my field. I have gained a lot of knowledge and will never stop learning.
During my summer vacations, I worked as an intern at HAVAL HB Gujranwala Motors
located at Mall of Gujranwala, Grand Trunk Rd, Gujranwala. My internship duration was 1
month from July 17,2024 to August 17,2024. My role at this internship was to work as an
Assistant Technician. I worked in workshop at their services department.
During my internship, I gained valuable insights about how the system of a
workshop works, how the staff cooperates with their customers regarding vehicle’s services,
inspection. I also maintained a good and friendly relation with the management, the service boys
and the supervisor.
It was a newly opened company and I was their first intern. All the staff
briefly helped and guided me in all aspects of the field as much as they can. I worked under the
Head Mechanic and the Electrician. They had a lot of knowledge in their respective areas of
work and their method of working was so good that I learn to do the service and inspection only
by watching them.
By doing this internship, I have gained basic knowledge of my field which
will help me to go further. I can conclude that internships are much important for becoming a
professional and skilled man in any field.
