the business organization or government agency according to their indicated preferences. Students are

future career. The areas of business in which students are allowed to have their internship include
Finance and Accounting, Marketing, Personnel Management, Production, Sales Management,
Transportation, Import/Export Management, International Affairs, and General Management. The
choice of workplace is subject to final approval by the Course Instructor (s).
Objective of the Course
This course intends to allow students to have real experiences in the working environment and by giving
them opportunities to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical situations at the workplace. It also
encourages students to explore their own strengths and weaknesses regarding their knowledge and
working abilities. Moreover, the course intends to create awareness of the responsibilities at work and
the difference between a students’ life style and the working life style.
By the end of the course, students should have learnt to improve their interpersonal relationship skills
and have clearer vision of the business-working environment. The knowledge and experience they will
have gained from this course would then benefit them in deciding and preparing themselves for their
future careers.
