This week in the classroom we all discussed our progress at our internships. Many different experiences and obligations were explained.  One spoken about was the experience of an individual that works with an organization who picks up food that would otherwise be thrown away and drop it off at other organizations. The student explained that the food is donated by places such as the grocery store of fast-food restaurants. The food from the grocery stores is food that has gone past its best by date by is still good and safe to eat. It was stated that there was a law passed recently that mandates that such grocery stores must donate goods in this condition. During the presentation, the individual explained how they were assisting the organization in recording all of their information down on to spreadsheets all collected on a database to allow others to access the information and to prevent the loss of critical information. This was explained to be a mandatory step in the progress of this organization because if the information stayed in just the minds of the individuals then the company could not progress or continue if another individual attempted to come in a take control.
