A) OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (IIP)

The purpose of IIP is to supplement NTU's in-house practical professional training and to instil in the students the right work attitudes and professionalism so that they could become effective and p roductive to their respective organisations much sooner than is usual for fresh graduates.

IIP is a learning process which by exposing the students in real life working environment as part of an academic curriculum helps the students to develop and enhance academic, personal and professional competencies. Due to the diversity of the training environments and backgrounds of organisation supervisors, a significant part of the IIP is based on a self-directed learning approach by the students.

Organisations participating in our IIP are required to provide a structured internship programme with emphasis on applications, management and hands-on experience for the students to:

(a) apply knowledge learned (b) acquire practical skills (c) strengthen work values (d) gain interpersonal skills
