Giving TVET graduate students exposure to industry thru internships is almost a norm in such higher education programmes. However, the success of these internships depend to a large extent on the arrangements in place to implement these internships. What have been some best practices for you that you can pass on in this regard?
In general practice internships are important to complete the process of theoretical training. These courses students must be together under the supervision of a university tutor and guardian of the economic sector and according to the training field to assess the assimilation of the theory to be a student practice
The practice for Internship is very fruitful for the students. For making it effective, we must manage mentor in industry and a teacher in the institution, who will look after the internship and training of the student.

Yes, there are important to complete the process of theoretical training.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has emerged as one of the most effective human resource development strategies that Third world countries need to embrace in order to train and modernize their technical workforce for rapid industrialization and national development.
One argues that in order for technical and vocational education to effectively support industrialisation, economic growth, wealth creation and poverty eradication, skills training must be of high quality and competency-based, incorporate the use of modern information and communication technologies, be relevant to the needs of industry, efficient, and adaptable to the changing technological work environment.
Please, te following articles and websites:
The term "TVET" as used , here, follows the 1997 UNESCO International Standard Classification of Education definition, which is education and training to "acquire the practical skills, know-how and understanding necessary for employment in a particular occupation, trade or group of occupations or trades." It is important to note that TVET is not only about knowing how to do things but also understanding why things are done in a particular way. The conceptual definition of TVET cuts across educational levels (post-primary, secondary, and even tertiary) and sectors (formal or school-based, non-formal or enterprise-based, and informal or traditional apprenticeship). It is therefore important to keep in mind the transversal and longitudinal nature of TVET as one attempt to highlight the importance of this type of education and training. In order to place the discussion in the right perspective, one should examine the current training and socio-economic environment within which TVET systems in third world countries operate.
Dear Dr. Debra,
What I have seen so far for an internship to be successful, there should be:
1. Identification of the skills and expertise of the student before embarking him/her on a task that he/she can never accomplish.
2. Identification of the right coach who has the skills and time for coaching
3. Continuous review through one to one meetings and continuous feedback.
4. Identification of the task that should be accomplished by the student/trainee with specific aim and goals.
I believe if these elements all exist, then it is up to the student/trainee to show how good he/she is and get as much benefit of the training as possible.
Thanks for the question.
