Hi all,

In this post I will compare between my previous experience in the school environment and my current experience in an organization such as Bank in terms of system of organization including the staff and learning environment.

The way each establishment run differs regarding to reasons of their being exist. I realized from my pervious experience that the staff in the school environment is specified by principal, assistant, secretary, teachers and learners. Whereas, in the organization the root goes further from the head manager to head departments, head offices and employees with different positions such as clerk, legal assistants, IT technicians …etc. Based on this description I noticed that my responsibilities were general in the school where it included the learners and administration too. I had to do the job of computer teacher and some IT work related to the administration; whereas my position in the Bank was more specified as an Educational Technologist and my role was to create teaching/learning materials for different courses. I think these differences will give me the opportunity in the future to consider my options in different fields.

As for the purposes of each place, I believe they differ too due to the materials and subjects given to the learners. In the school, it focuses on teaching and learning cycle with clear stages that the learner shifts as they grow up. While in the training department in the Bank, the courses are given based on any needs are demanded by the work environment with no assessment system. Therefore, I think the knowledge is given to the learners in the school is more board whereas, in the Bank it is limited regarding to the employees’ needs and experience.

To sum up, I think each work environment has its differences and requirements. I found myself a lucky student to have an opportunity to explore different work places which will help me to decide which environment will be good as my future career.
