The internship held in 24Slides Malang and Satwa Sehat Clinic this year. Although it only was held for a week, the students could gain new experiences enriching their knowledge.

The Chief of Sciencepreneur major, Ustadzah Ratu Fatimah, told, commonly, students know little about particular profession, therefore the choice of majors of their further studies tends to be homogeneous.

Therefore, the internship program arranged to aim students to understand the job description more deeply. "We suppose students know more about their choice of job and obtain first-hand experience from the professionals," she explained.

   

Students should propose with some requirements, curriculum vitae and portofolio, approved by supervisor, before the application to the internship partner gets approval.

Some institutions asked students to present their proposals. Ustdzah Rafa said, there were five teams to do the internship, however, only two groups were able to finish the program because the others should be cancelled since the pandemic is getting worse.

While, 24Slides Malang is the branch of graphic design enterprise based in Denmark, founded eight years ago, in 2012, and has served international companies, such as, Amazon, Fox, Facebook, Adidas, Porsche, and so on.

"Hopefully, knowledge and experience during internship would positively influence them and lead them to be more responsible of what they have choosen in the future," she said again.
