- 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, registration documents, and the expected OJT work he will be undertaking in the said company; and
- A memorandum of Agreement must be signed between the company and the school.
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.
