OVERVIEW
Your Internship Journey: Step-by-Step
During Your Internship
After the Internship

The Internship and Work-Based Learning (WBL) programme immerses you in the day-to-day work environment of professionals within a company. It allows you to apply the theories and knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world assignments, gaining practical experience in an actual working environment.

 

Throughout your internship or WBL, you will develop professionalism through interactions with colleagues and supervisors, while acquiring valuable on-the-job training. This experience helps you become effective and productive in your future workplace much sooner, even before you graduate.

 

Internship and WBL are graduation requirements for Taylor’s University homegrown programmes. Depending on your programme of study, you must complete either one for the required duration. During your placement, you will be bound by the organisation’s policies and regulations.

 

If you miss or end your internship or WBL prematurely for reasons other than medical, accidental, occupational violence, legal, or familial issues, or if you are terminated for poor attendance or violation of company policies, you will be required to retake the internship or WBL in the following semester when the module is offered.
