Paying interns would only cost employers more money and time! If you are an employer or a business owner and you feel that providing an allowance for your interns is a hassle and a waste for the company, well, think again. Providing a liveable allowance to your future interns can help in your talent development process. Not only can you attract high-quality interns, but you can also motivate them to work and do better. Who knows—these interns might be your future star employees. And, what's more - you can also claim for double tax deductions for eligible expenses paid for your interns. So all those allowances that you give them? All those training you sent them to? All the additional expenses like accommodation & mobile data allowances? Yes - you can claim them back as a double tax deduction! It's a win-win situation if you really think about it.

𝙉𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙊𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩 In Singapore, there is a rising trend of university students, especially in tech-related fields, taking on multiple internships beyond the standard graduation requirements. A third-year student at Singapore Management University (SMU), is one of many who are juggling internships with their academic commitments. He and his peers recognize the increasing competitiveness of the job market and aim to stand out by gaining diverse hands-on experiences. At SMU and other universities like the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), over half of the recent graduates completed more than one internship. This trend is driven by both a desire to explore various industries and roles, as well as the need to differentiate themselves from other graduates in a volatile job market. According to human resource experts, such internships not only provide practical experience but also help students build valuable networks that could secure future employment. However, career coaches caution that focusing solely on internships can lead to burnout, and emphasize the importance of balancing this with co-curricular and leadership activities to develop well-rounded skills. Despite the pressure to take on multiple internships, there are concerns about the personal cost. Some students have noted the toll on their social lives and mental health due to their intense schedules. Yet, many believe that the sacrifice is a fair trade-off for securing better job opportunities post-graduation. Overall, while internships are becoming a key component of career preparation in Singapore, students are encouraged to consider both the quality of their internships and how they fit into a broader plan for personal development. 𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙖 𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡? Yes, the trend of university students pursuing multiple internships is also becoming more prominent in Indonesia, much like in Singapore. Many Indonesian students are taking part in several internships to enhance their skills, gain diverse experiences, and improve their employability in a competitive job market. This is especially encouraged by programs such as Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), which allows students to take internships for academic credits. Universities such as UI have partnered with various organizations, both locally and internationally, to offer more internship opportunities. Students are also increasingly seeking global internships through initiatives like the Indonesian Global Internship Program (IGIP) and other collaborations with companies abroad, emphasizing the importance of international exposure and work experience. This growing interest in multiple internships is driven by the desire to build stronger networks and stand out in the volatile job market. 📝 Yoeliana Ai .

The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) Education Committee invited me to participate in a Roundtable Discussion (RTD) held on Wednesday, 12 December 2024, at Shangri-La at The Fort. The RTD was in preparation for an upcoming MAP Workshop on “Building a Stronger Workforce through Structured Internship.” The RTD participants included colleagues from MAP, academic institutions, industry associations, and government agencies.              Here are some of the thoughts I shared with the group:              The need to bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical demands of the workplace has never been more urgent. As the Philippines aspires to be a competitive player in the global economy, the role of structured internship programs in shaping our future workforce becomes paramount. Internships are not just a bridge but a transformative experience that prepares young people for real-world challenges while fostering innovation and economic growth.              Internships offer students the opportunity to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills. By working in real-world environments, they develop essential competencies such as teamwork, communication, and adaptability. These experiences also enhance their employability, setting them apart in a highly competitive job market.              For industries, internships represent a strategic investment. They create a tailored pipeline of talent that addresses specific needs, helping to address skills gaps and drive productivity. For the nation, the benefits are even more extensive—structured internships help reduce youth unemployment, foster innovation, and sustain economic growth.              Yet, the absence of a well-defined framework can make internships inconsistent and less impactful. I hope MAP, through the Workshop, can proactively redefine academe-industry-government partnerships and develop structured internship programs that are inclusive, sustainable, and transformative.              To ensure that internships align with national development goals, we must focus on sectors that promise the greatest impact. My proposed priority sectors are: IT-BPM, healthcare, agriculture and agri-business, manufacturing and engineering, tourism and hospitality, education, and public service. Through internships, we must nurture the next generation of educators and civil servants committed to equity and excellence in serving the nation.              The urgency of implementing a structured internship program cannot be overstated. Our youth are not just the future of this nation; they are its present. By equipping them with the skills, experiences, and confidence to excel in their chosen fields, we are investing in a stronger, more prosperous Philippines.

Internships are stepping stones to Malaysian careers, but sometimes they end unexpectedly - just like a case I just saw in LinkedIn. A manager terminated the interns, and expecting them to say sorry and to say they wish to continue to work in this company. The manager terminated them with only less than one week notice! How can they managed to find their next internship in short period then? Today, let's explore navigating internship termination in Malaysia, including notice periods, for both HR and interns: Unlike permanent employment, Malaysian law doesn't mandate specific notice periods for internship termination. However, transparency and fairness are crucial. Here's how to determine the appropriate notice: 💡 Employment Contract: The internship agreement might specify a notice period. This takes precedence. 💡 Company Policy: Many companies have established internship termination policies, including notice requirements. 💡 Fairness and Transparency: In the absence of a specific policy or contractual clause, consider a reasonable notice period based on the internship duration. A week or two might be appropriate for shorter internships. Dear interns / soon-to-be interns, don't be discouraged. Use this experience to learn and highlight your strengths in future applications.
