SINGAPORE: Recent findings from several Singaporean universities reveal that, although only one internship is typically required to earn a degree, more than half of last year’s graduates completed mul
tiple internships throughout their academic journey. This trend has prompted discussions among human resources experts and career mentors, who believe that increased competition in the job market is driving students to seek diverse work experiences before graduation.
Career mentors also highlighted that internship experience is just one factor that employers consider when evaluating potential hires. A career coach at Singapore Management University stressed to 8World the importance of holistic development through campus activities, urging students to prioritize the quality of their internships over sheer quantity.
Additionally, career coaches pointed out the critical role of extracurricular activities in fostering essential soft skills and leadership abilities.
