External Internship Opportunities
Explore external internship opportunities across various organisations and apply on your own initiative to gain in-depth work experience.
External Internship Opportunities
There are several organisations that prefer students who take initiative in seeking attachment opportunities that are not listed by the school, as it reveals the strong interest and initiative of the candidate.
Such opportunities typically:
are more in-depth in terms of the nature of work allocated to you
are more long-term i.e. 3 months so as to allow you to gain a broader perspective on what they do and why they do what they do
are geared towards attracting potential employees/scholars
provides (but not necessarily so) a small monthly stipend
If you wish to take up an internship after your A-Level examinations, research and application should start in September so that you can start your internship in December. This is so that you can have full 3 months of work experience before A-Level results are released in March.
