Internships

More than half of university students who graduated last year also took on several internships, according to statistics from the Singapore University of Social Sciences , SMU and NUS Business School. “I think what motivated me to take on multiple internships is the desire to gain hands-on experience in different industries and across different roles, though it can be tiring at times to balance both school and work,” the 23-year-old told CNA.“Each internship offers a unique learning opportunity for students to explore what they like to do before joining the workforce.”

“They want to see what exactly fits the bill … and they want to try it out through internships, because that's the only way as a graduate or a student you can do that. So they really want to maximise it,” he noted.
