[5in5 Internship] 5-in-5 Internship Program
What the program is?

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.

- Capable of identifying different roles and functions within the professional services industry
