Executive Summary
During my internship at the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), I had the pleasure of
acquainting myself with the world of recycling, in which waste management is one of the
significant activities. SIRC, which was founded in 2017 by PIF, is the one organization with a
mission of walking a green road towards the objectives of Vision 2030.
I was mentored by Mr. Waleed Atallah Alotaibi during his Technical Services and
Administration Department internship. The central part of my activities included:
•
Working on different projects.
•
Contract management.
•
Contract-making of admin contracts.
•
Cooperating with catering companies on contracts.
I was given a diverse pool of assignments on which I gained valuable experience in
communication, management, and research skills.
Besides, I could participate in the organization’s process, network with network industry
associates, and contribute to initiatives designed for better recycling technologies and better
economy.
Ultimately, the internship in SIRC was a great learning opportunity to experience the impact of
theoretical aspects in solving real-life problems and get the best instructor ever about all the
complexities of the waste management sector. The skills I will learn from this project will be
applicable in my future career while simultaneously being transferable to other fields of work.

Acknowledgment
I cannot express my gratitude to those who assisted me through this educational and professional
pathway at the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC).
Before any other, I thankfully give my kindest regards to my supervisor, Mr. Waleed Atallah
Alotaibi for being my role model, mentor, and ever-present supporter throughout my internship.
Thanks to him, I developed a new understanding of self-study and can navigate it more
confidently.
Last but not least, the cooperation of Mrs. Mashael Alshehri, who has been a source of bright and
warm encouragement and constructive criticism and enriched my clear thinking of theories and
concept applications in workplaces, is another thankful spot from my side.
Also, I appreciate the friendship with the members of SIRC, which started with the spirit of
cooperating, sharing knowledge, and wanting to socialize. Without doing this, they had a
positive role in my indirect progress and in gaining strengths.
Finally, I would like to say many thanks to those who helped me at SIRC. They provided me
with a conducive environment and activities that helped me work on a meaningful project.
Honestly, I feel quite lucky to have had the help and guidance I have had. Now, I am eager to use

Just as an intern at the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), my supervisor, Waleed
Atallah Alotaibi, was able to help me. He filled a role as the head of the Facility and
Administration Department, ensuring that the workflow was as smooth as possible and that they
guided and helped the interns who worked under him.
In addition to my supervisor, several other team members within the Facility and Administration

accomplish its goals.
These individuals behind the scenes are a fundamental part of the smooth running of the Facility
and Administration Department’s operations. They bring their respective expertise to positively
impact the implementation of projects and programs.
I had the facility and administration section as my working place. Below is a detailed description
of this department along with its sub-divisions:
The Facility and Administration Department at SIRC manages the organization’s physical space,
building management, and administrative functions. Indeed, this division is vital to the
corporation and guarantees that the department’s facilities are functional, efficient, and
supportive of its goals.

water. Planning and managing repairs, work orders, janitorial services, and safety and
compliance may be required.

College of Administration and Finance Sciences
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Division: The HSE Division prevents workplace
injuries and improves employee and visitor conditions. The section above develops, implements,
and enforces safety policies and procedures, conducts safety training, and oversees
environmental compliance.
Throughout my SIRC internship, I did many Facility and Administration tasks. For the first two
months, I oversaw Wala Plus contracts and the office. I also helped catering companies resolve
service contracts. These tasks taught me research, time management, and communication. A nice
lifestyle and adapting to a new environment were internship challenges. Time management and
coworkers have helped me overcome these problems.
In the second month, I recommended contract management, especially car rental and library
contracts. I negotiated and managed multiple assignments well. I often had tight deadlines and
complicated legal papers. Although her task was difficult, I accomplished it and improved my
project management and negotiation skills.
Before the month finished, I improved my research and analysis abilities by selecting suppliers
and analyzing data. My largest challenge was balancing tasks and other commitments, especially
during Ramadan. I was agile despite challenges. I adjusted and became productive. In
conclusion, my SIRC internship taught me about waste management and prepared me for work
issues.
My SIRC internship taught me strategic and soft skills, including communication, time
management, negotiating data, and analysis. My work was more meaningful since she could
handle multiple projects, coordinate with people, evaluate data to make decisions and deliver
findings to colleagues and top officials. My new time management skills helped me manage
various duties, and my presenting skills helped me negotiate favorable establishing agreements.
Due to my improved skills, I could efficiently complete my work as requested by the company.
14
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
As a trainee in SIRC, I was incentivized to take the lead and conduct actions more proactively.
These incentives could include the following:
My positive feedback from my manager inspired me to work hard.
Mentorship: Experienced workers would teach me how to do my job.
Development Opportunities: Workshops, reading about my hobbies, and skills development
programs can assist me in reaching my career goals.
My relationships with other departments or industry events motivated me to network and learn
more about the field.
Performance-Based Rewards: I was motivated by a bonus, certificate of success, and other
incentives for a promotion after the internship.
The core intern managed contracts, suppliers, data analysis, and project coordination with the
Facility and Administration Department. I prepared agreements, reviewed, and negotiated,
researched suppliers, and managed the data to make project decisions. These jobs taught me
communication, negotiation, time management, analysis, and research. She learned how to lead
stakeholder groups, manage several projects, create deals, and use research and data to make
judgments. My internship gave me real-world exposure to all aspects of retirement home
management, which greatly improved my management career prospects. While in SIRC, I
participated in real duties and talked to coworkers, which helped me grow professionally and
personally.
The SIRC training classroom served as a place where I gathered multiple lessons, from minor to
significant, which facilitated my personal and professional development. Some of the key lessons
learned include:
15
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
Applying classroom ideas to real-world problems improved our learning. It was practicality that
gave me perspective and wisdom.
Experience: Before coming, I needed help understanding the business. I learned I needed to
enhance my communication, problem-solving, and teamwork at the internship. Through work
and professional activities, I learned industry methods and expectations.
The education plan focused on professional advancement and provided insight into other firms
and industries. Working with industry specialists, taking comments, and facing workplace reality
increased my professionalism, self-confidence, and communication.
Networking: My internship is my first chance to meet industry peers and mentors. Strong
organization-industry relationships promote career prospects, mentorship, and partnerships.
Self-confidence and resilience: Interning despite challenges and adapting to new situations
might help you develop these skills. Every professional must master uncertainties, challenges,
and workload planning.
Chapter Three: Recommendations
Advantageous that helped me in completing the training program.
Several advantages contributed to the successful completion of the training program:
We would have perished without SIRC’s superiors, mentors, and coworkers. In tutoring sessions,
students can meet with instructors, receive comments, and use tools to address difficulties and
maximize learning.
Structured Programmer: The training programmer highlighted advancement goals and
milestones. Specified goals helped design and track internship goals.
16
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
Related Coursework: Coursework matched internship activities. I have experience with related
ideas, concepts, and approaches, which made professional applications easy.
Resources: Hardware, software, databases, and industry tools aided research and tasks.
Integrating all resources sped up company processes.
Adapting to shifting conditions worked best. With adaptability and genuity, the project may
quickly overcome unexpected challenges and adjust priorities.
Networking: Meeting in-house experts and businesspeople improved my perspective and helped
me. Networking and friendships led to jobs and skills. We expect great papers, and our writers
agree.
Effective learning requires a daily growth and learning mentality. Gaining confidence and
professional skills helped me feel accomplished. Thus, criticism, skill acquisition, and selfreflection have improved me personally and professionally.
Disadvantages and challenges that faced me and how I overcame them.
Despite the overall success of the training program, several challenges were encountered, along
with strategies employed to overcome them:
Work-Life Balance: I struggled with my internship and personal duties. To balance work and
life, I focused, set boundaries, and scheduled breaks.
Months with minimal tasks alternate between participation and expertise. Proactively
communicating with superiors showed them I was interested in new responsibilities and
initiatives in other areas.
17
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
A new workplace and culture overwhelmed me. Inexperience and time spent learning from
peers, seeking mentorship, and participating in team activities to improve workplace integration
limited me.
I struggled with technology and software tools for certain assignments. More training and
problem-solving helped the technicians and staff learn faster and improve.
Communication issues: The team’s nations and ethnicities had language issues during the
project. Active listening, defining expectations, and inviting input helped me find the best
objective alignment.
Meeting project deadlines was the toughest, especially when they were suddenly changed, or
strikes and unrest occurred. Time management, splitting large projects into smaller ones, and
requesting help from supervisors or teammates helped me meet deadlines and do well.
Pressure to perform like the strong is exhausting and unpleasant. Self-care and appropriate
performance standards helped me overcome performance anxiety. I sought help or feedback
from mentors or coworkers.
Recommendations to improve the training program in the college.
To enhance the training program in the college, the following recommendations are suggested:
Customized Internships: Match internships to students’ academic and career goals. Locations
can be changed, but alignment and learning material are guaranteed.
Start the internship with clear expectations from the student and supervisor. The internship
requirements and expectations will be included. Clear expectations establish obligations and
teach pupils roles.
18
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
Offering internships in several fields encourages diverse experiences and careers. The main
reason students study abroad is personal growth, adaptability, and perspective.
Structured coaching: Offer internship-long guidance from seasoned experts. Mentors improve
soft skills and job orientation.
Professional Development One-on-one consultations, workshops, and seminars on the above
guidelines will help students apply their new skills to the job market.
Give students regular feedback to identify strengths and weaknesses and promote selfassessment.
Flexibility and adaptability: Fit remote or part-time internship courses into students’ schedules.
Flexibility makes education inclusive.
Evaluation and Assessment: Develop comprehensive evaluation and assessment tools to
evaluate the training program and identify areas for improvement. Quality and usefulness are
shown via frequent evaluation.
Alumni Engagement: Invite trained alums to talk to kids about their careers. Alum engagement
creates camaraderie and a great network.
Continuous Improvement: To stay current, update the curriculum with student feedback,
industry trends, and best practices.
Conclusion
Finally, the practical knowledge I have gained at Saudi Investment Recycling Company has
proved to be the best way of bridging the gap between theoretical university studies and practical
application. Trainees have had the opportunity to learn by doing, be mentored, and engage in on-
19

17
College of Administration and Finance Sciences
A new workplace and culture overwhelmed me. Inexperience and time spent learning from
peers, seeking mentorship, and participating in team activities to improve workplace integration
limited me.

problem-solving helped the technicians and staff learn faster and improve.
Communication issues: The team’s nations and ethnicities had language issues during the
project. Active listening, defining expectations, and inviting input helped me find the best
objective alignment.
Meeting project deadlines was the toughest, especially when they were suddenly changed, or
strikes and unrest occurred. Time management, splitting large projects into smaller ones, and
requesting help from supervisors or teammates helped me meet deadlines and do well.
Pressure to perform like the strong is exhausting and unpleasant. Self-care and appropriate
performance standards helped me overcome performance anxiety. I sought help or feedback
from mentors or coworkers.
