INTERNSHIP GUIDELINES

1. Students look for a company where they are supposed to undertake on-the-job training. Students are advised to look for jobs/ internships which are related to their courses. The company and the job where the Practicum is to be taken has to be approved by the Practicum Coordinator and the Academic Dean.

The company can be selected from the school’s Database of Companies for OJT, available with the Practicum Coordinator;
If the company is not in the database, the student can seek recommendations from the Chiang Kai Shek College Alumni Association, Inc. and submit such recommendations for approval to the Practicum Coordinator and the Academic Dean;
For any other company targeted for OJT, the student needs to submit a proposal for approval to the Program Coordinator and the Academic Dean, indicating the background of the company and the expected OJT work he will be undertaking in the said company.

2. Upon finding a prospective company to work in, the student shall prepare two (2) copies of the letter of recommendation, which must be signed by the Practicum Coordinator, countersigned by the Academic Dean, and submitted to the company where Practicum is being applied for. The duplicate copy shall be kept on file by the student as an appendix to his report to be submitted at the end of the Practicum period.

3. Once hired, the student should request for a formal letter of acceptance from the company, also to be submitted as part of his report.

4. If necessary, a contract or memorandum of agreement shall be signed between the student, the company, and the school for the Practicum experience.

5. While at work, the student shall start researching and compiling information required for his Practicum Report.

6. The student should keep a daily time record while having his Practicum. The company time record is acceptable, or in its absence, the Daily Time Record Form provided by the school may be used.

7. The student shall request for a Letter of Completion from the company upon finishing six hundred (600) hours of Practicum. He shall also request his immediate supervisor to fill up the Performance Appraisal Form, and have it returned in a sealed envelope. Both documents will be submitted as appendices to the student’s final Practicum Report.

8. The Practicum Report must be submitted to the Practicum Coordinator as final requirement for completion of Practicum.

9. A student who fails to complete his required hours in a company will not receive a grade for Practicum. A student who wishes to change working institutions will receive no credit from the previous institution in terms of hours and will start his Practicum from scratch.

10. Internships can be done virtually with some in-person components when circumstances prevent an in-person experience such as this COVID-19 pandemic.
