5-in-5 Internship Program
What the program is?
College of Business Management has designed the 5in5 internships to offer CBM’s students opportunities to have initial experiences in a professional work environment and get industry insights.
The program will take place off-campus at a Company and students will complete the program under the guidance of a Company mentor/counsellor, who will be responsible for helping students to navigate the Company work environment. By accomplishing this internship, students will gain a broad overview of different functions/departments at the Company and develop new professional connections. Also, students are expected to improve soft skills (problem solving, communication, presentation, team-work) and employability when applying for future internships.
What CBM’s students can get?
By the end of the internships, students will be able to:
- Capable of identifying different roles and functions within the professional services industry
- Know career development pathways in the professional services industry
- Understanding the problem-solving process applied
- Communicate effectively with industry experts in a professional setting
- Deliver a group presentation to address the problem(s) identified in an assigned case study
How long it takes?
Participate minimum 5-week (40 hours). Hour: 8 hours/day; 1 day/week (Friday), during semester or summer time.
On the first day, after an introduction about the Company, the case study will be assigned to the students, then they will form up groups to work on and deliver final group presentation on the last day. In week 2-3-4, students will be rotated between three main departments/service lines (e.g., marketing, finance, HR, etc.). In each department, they will attend a presentation about a necessary technical skill and/or soft skill to be successful in that area.
