Local Internship Programme

We believe in preparing our students to thrive in the workplace. So our School of Applied Science (SAS) offers the Enhanced Internship Programme (EIP) for students to deepen their knowledge and apply their technical and soft skills in an industry setting. It will also help you transition smoothly into the workforce through a well-structured on-the-job training programme with industry-relevant learning.

Good Mentorship Stories

“During Internship we will need to work in unfamiliar environment and collaborate with people whom we do not know very well. This is when conflicts might arise due to different opinions and preferences. When such conflicts happen, mentors or supervisors play a very critical role in conflict resolution. Once, the team of interns working on assigned tasks had some disagreement among us. Instead of leaving us to resolve the conflict, my supervisor responded in a professional and calm way. He was extremely understanding of the problems or setbacks that my team and I faced. He sat the team down and spent time listening to each and every member of the team. To me, he served as an important factor in mitigating our problems and predicaments. Because of his efforts, the team was able to move on and the situation improved. Subsequently, he checked in with the team regularly to make sure we were alright. I am grateful for his time, listening ear and the solutions he provided to resolve our conflict”
