society."

are from the organization and some are from customers. As organization same the problem are
lack of seats, lack of user (access) for me and other are the problem of connection and network
those hinder my activity to not serve customer properly. From customers same customer’s don.t
care about criteria to be fulfilled properly rather than looking only about the service.
Some of them don’t sign on the ticket and some signature on the ticket and on the book
are different
No correct order of sender name which is difficult to serve customer
Some are careless to respect the employees and rule
Some of them bring incorrect account which the system is not read

CHAPTER THREE
3. Attachment Evaluation
3.1 what you gained in terms of improving your practical skills
Rationales of Practical Attachment
Rationales of the practical attachment are the practical reason to decide how to act on
It is for the case that the apprentice to realize the theory in class to real world through
practice.
It is for that the apprentice should compare and contrast the economic thought with
practical work
It is that how the problem is identified and the solution is found
It is for that the apprentice to make strong the relation he/she has with others on work etc.
3.2 Significance of Practical Attachment
Since this practical attachment is the connection between theory in class and real world it has
significant. Some of the significance of this practical attachment;
Help to know and compare the relationship between the theory and real world
To increase the confidence of students on future work
To identify the problem in the company for necessary solution
Help to apply the theory in class for future expected activities
Help for students how to identify and find solution for problem
Help to teach others the acceptability of theory in class
Increase confidence of student for research and etc.…
3.3 Relevance of organization with my study
From starting date of my practical attachment as the general with the branch and particularly
with the department there is good connection with my study in foreign remittance transaction.
Theoretically since I have studied about foreign transaction in class and in my practical study
how to make transaction of that remittance this organization is relevant with my practical study.
In other way as general as organization there is also good connection with my study that for the
foreign transaction is the department of the organization and my study is related with it that has
relation with International trade department again the organization and my study has good
connection.
The theories of microeconomics for showing how to maximize profit and creating
customer satisfaction
The theories of principle accounting used to prepare workers payroll
The theories of international trade used to show exchange of currency.
From English point of view we can get how to write report correctly and fluently
International Economics course says that USD is as the international unit of currency which
every countries currency converted to other currency. Also in my practical work the money
sends from other countries as the remittance is after converted to dollar.
In Micro economics the course shows about cost advantage. It says that when there are many
competitors in the market to gain more profit it needs more cost. In production company to get
more profit than the other it needs additional demand for worker which increases the wage of
employer. In International Economics also again there is the point talk about the effect of
exchange rate between two countries. As it show if the dollar to birr exchange rate become
increase the birr depreciate against dollar. However it shows that the depreciation of birr is good
to increase the export and decrease import which is advantage for the country.
The problems related to this is how to start to write the report whether as whole or as
branch
To keep the secret of the organization the manager didn’t give me response about the
problems currently faced the organization
The main problems faced me on this practical attachment are the problem of lack of the
seat and user which affect me to not work as expected.
3.4 what you gained in terms of improving your team playing skill
The problem mentioned above are solved by:-
I was try to adapt new environment and working condition gradually by studding
behavior of department member and sharing experience among them.
The organization should have to buy additional materials like chair and computers that
help for training
The organization should give the opportunity for students to participate in a given
activities freely in order to improve their knowledge and producing self-confident
professionals.
The organization should have to prepare other computer for training in addition to the
working computer.

organization, cardinal issues, goals of the organization, organizations, structure,
etc. It covers background of cooperative Bank of Oromia dinsa branch in
chelenko . The office is standing for promoting gender mainstreaming, women
empowerment and respecting women and child right. Working toward elimination

the availability of such materials on department.

The organization should have well-organized and structured data
Each employee should be responsible for their activities to achieve
objectives of the organization.
The organization should develop transparency among employee

In order to reduce problems that arise with practical attachment program and
to ensure its mission, universities should develop a system of direct relation

The relationship between higher education and different organizations has to
be strength for the effectiveness of practical attachment.
To give necessary skills, practical attachment, program
Finally, I would like to suggest to CBO of dinsa branch in dinsa town have
