The implementation is 30-35 working days, but can be extended up to three months as needed.
Meanwhile the HRD & GA Manager, Alwin Berkat explained the difference between an internship and a certified internship. According to him, internship is an activity to gain experience and skills in certain fields, which have nothing to do with the curriculum structure. It is implemented for a maximum period of one month.
Meanwhile, certified internships are carried out by students at an institution, institution or company to gain practical competence in certain fields with a maximum weight of 20 credits and a maximum time of six months.
This collaboration is one of the implementations of an independent learning campus. That is, students have the opportunity for one semester (20 credits) to study outside the study program at the same university. And a maximum of two semesters or 40 credits of studying in the same study program at different universities, different study programs at different universities; and / or learning outside of higher education.
