2. The Internship Process Flowchart
As a general guide, Interns will follow a standard workflow process for Internship as shown
below. The specific schedule is available separately in the Career Services (CS) and Faculty
for this Process Flowchart (Figure 1).
Internship duration:
Diploma : 9 weeks
Degree : 16 weeks
The pre-registration (aims to produce the Internship candidate list) is important so that CS
and Faculty could allocate the needed resources, and support services in providing Internship
placement to all the students.
Students are required to attend the briefing conducted by CS in order to register your
Internship through the given link during the briefing. CS will issue a certification letter to you
upon success registration. You are required to attach this certification letter with your
application letter to the company.
Students are encouraged to attend some of the following workshops organized by CS before
the commencement of their Internship period, such as:
Handling Job Interviews
Creating Cover Letters & Resume Effectively
Self-evaluation & Personality Profiling
Career Networking & Planning
Grooming / Imaging for Success
Presentation Dynamics
Developing Business / Project Proposal

Phase 2: Enrolment, Application, Interview and Selection (By CS and Faculty)
Upon completion of the above briefing preparations, training, and pre-registrations, students
are now able to officially register or enroll by doing an advanced enrollment in the Internship
programme at the Faculty or at CS.
** No students will be allowed to proceed further in Internship if they are not officially
enrolled or registered in advanced for Internship.
Upon completion of the advanced registration and enrolment on Internship, students are now
ready to source and submit their Internship applications to their prospective employers of
their choice. Students have to send the Application Letter (Appendix A) together with
Certification (issued by CS, if any) and Host Company Internship Offer Form (Appendix B).
At this stage, students are expected to have their own Internship portfolios ready and
available anytime such as the hard copies and soft copies of the following relevant
documents and credentials before they could start sending their applications to the
employers:
Well written and dated Internship application cover letter
Appropriate and up to date personal resume or curriculum vitae
Relevant certificates and transcript of records
Letter of commendations and awards received
Recommendation letters from Professionals
CS Support Documents: Certification Letter and the Host Company Internship Offer Form
Students are to furnish a copy of the above documents to CS and CS to file them under
individual student’s PDP file for the generation of their Employability Transcripts in the near
future.
Application for Internship placement is divided into TWO parts:
1. The first part was the Self-Internship Placement (SIP) where students apply and source for
their own employers for at least THREE different employers in one-month time. It is an
important provision on Internship and requirement that will allow students to experience
all the stages of searching and applying for jobs. Students must produce all the necessary
evidence that they have tried and attempted to apply for jobs to three different employers
and yet they are not able to get placement from the employers. A sample of evidence is
Email replies and written document.
2. With sufficient evidence presented by the student on the difficulties of getting placement,
the students could opt for the second part by availing of the university placement services,
by seeking help from CS for the University Internship Placement (UIP), CS will try its
best to look and select for its corporate/industry partners to assist and provide Internship
placement for the students. Students who opted for UIP have no choice on the type of
employer and location as CS will finalize the placement. Students are expected to attend
job interview sessions during the application period for screening and selection by
employers. Students are encouraged to write an Appreciation Letter (Appendix C ) to
the respective company if they choose to turn down the offer.

Phase 4: Internship at Work: Reporting, Supervision & Learning Diaries (By Supervisor
and Intern)
a) Reporting
Interns are required to report to the Host Company at the specified date and time as per
Internship period. The Host Company will ensure that a company supervisor is
assigned to the Intern and proper briefing/orientation on the rules, regulations and
policies are given to the Intern.
b) Supervision
Each Intern will have two supervisors; one supervisor from the Host Company (External
Supervisor) and another one from the University (Internal Supervisor), both supervisors
will guide and assess the students' performance, its Daily and Weekly Log Book and
Internship report during the period of Internship. Depending on the performance of the
Intern, the Internal Supervisor may or may not visit the Interns during the Internship
period. If there is a need for a work site visitation for the Intern, the Faculty or CS will
coordinate the said visitation with the Host Company.
Both the Host Supervisor and Intern must fill up the Host Company Internship
Communication Form (Appendix D) or Intern Internship Communication Form
(Appendix
E) and submit it to Director of CS to raise any issues. In case if there is any termination
incident, Host Company will need to submit Host Company Termination Form
(Appendix
F) to the respective Internal Supervisor and Faculty.
8|Page
Interns must record clearly jobs assigned, problems encountered, details of discussion and
job accomplished during the Internship. Daily and Weekly Log Book should be presented
to and signed by the Host Company supervisor.
All signed Daily and Weekly Log Book should be submitted altogether with the final
Internship Report in hard copy to the faculty for marking and review.
CS will check the completion of the portfolios submitted by the Interns, liaise with the
employer and will provide clearance for the administration of Interns presentation,
evaluation, and grading by the Faculty. Internship report portfolios must be submitted
within the stipulated date and time. Late submission of any report is not allowed. But for
some reasonable cases, a penalty of 5% of the total mark is deducted for each day delay
in submission of the Internship written report portfolios.
** Intern needs to send the Intern’s Supervisor Feedback Profile (Appendix K) and
Intern’s Profile and On-Site Work Experience (Appendix L) to CS and Faculty
separately upon submission.
b) Presentation
Upon submission of all the Internship report portfolios, each Intern will do an oral
presentation of Internship experiences for about 15-30 minutes to students,
representatives from Faculty and CS. This presentation is a summary of what you learned
from the Internship, knowledge, and skills acquired during the Internship. If time permits,
there would be a session for Questions and Answers where the audience will ask
questions to the Interns based on what they have presented.
3. The Host Company or Host Supervisor must not be the relatives of Interns
** Failing to comply with all the above requirements, you will not be graded, hence
FAIL the Internship Module and will NOT BE ALLOWED to graduate.
Should you need further assistance or clarification, please contact CS or the Faculty at 06-
7982000.
