STUDENT-INTERNSHIP-POLICIES-AND-GUIDELINES
Filipino parents value education as one of the most important legacies they can impart
to their children. They believe that having a better education opens opportunities that would
ensure a good future and eventually lift them out of poverty [1]. Academic institutions are
challenged by this expectations. It is worthy to note though that yearly reports from the
Philippine Statistics Office, revealed that unemployment rate for College graduates increases,
and at one time, was at 20.9% in 2019. Most of the unemployed in the Philippines are fresh
graduates with about 400,000 added to the labor force each year according to PSA. One of the
reasons is the mismatch between the demand of the industries and the readiness of college
graduates in terms of knowledge and skills. Indeed, these information has implications on the
quality of education in the country.
The need for academic institutions to adopt strategies that will provide the students with
the right knowledge and skills to match the demand of industries is therefore, imperative.
Tertiary education institutions builds on secondary education, providing learning activities in
specialized fields of education. It aims at learning at a high level of complexity and
specialization [2]. It prepare individuals not only by providing them with adequate relevant job
skills, but also by preparing them to be active members of their communities and societies [3].
Student Internship Program (SIP) is one of the strategies adopted by tertiary schools,
particularly on technical courses to enhance/complement classroom instruction through on-the-
job training (OJT) or in-company training (ICT). The NCF College of Engineering student
internship program is in accord with CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 104, series 2017
– Revised Guidelines for Student Internship Program in the Philippines (SIPP) for all programs.
The objective, as contained in the CMO, is to provide the students with an opportunity to
complement their formal learning with practical knowledge, skills and desirable attitudes and
to gain hands on experience in recognized Host Training Establishment (HTE).
To ensure the effective implementation of the student internship program and meet the
objectives of the program, the College of Engineering shall establish policies and guidelines in
accordance with the pertinent provisions of CMO No. 104, series of 2017. It shall implement
the same in partnership with the identified HTEs, the students will be able to complement
his/her knowledge learned from the school, gain competitive edge, nurture his confidence,

series of 2017, and is anchored on certain policies, to wit:

standards that embodies the principle laid out by CHED in the development of students’

specifying the desired outcomes and how these outcomes will be achieved, and enhance
the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies that the student intern should acquire in
