The annual Internship Introductory Briefing Session of the School of Communication was successfully held on September 17, attracting nearly 100 enthusiastic third-year students from the School’s three undergraduate programmes — Journalism and Communication, Convergent Media and Communication Technology, and Arts and Culture Communication. The event aimed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the importance of internships, detailed explanations of the application procedures, selection criteria, and internship matching arrangements, helping them to prepare thoroughly and smoothly transition from academic studies to the workplace.
Due to the large number of participants this year, the School arranged for faculty members responsible for different disciplines to conduct group discussions with students. This allowed students to engage in in-depth exchanges about internship opportunities specific to their respective fields, further enhancing their understanding of internship work. The faculty consistently emphasized the importance of students developing the habit of regularly checking their emails, beginning to prepare their CVs and portfolios early, and cultivating a strong awareness of current news. In addition, students must ensure they accumulate enough School of Communication activity hours (SCOM Hours) to meet the internship application requirements and actively prepare for the group interviews scheduled for early December.
The entire briefing session was both lively and informative, laying a solid foundation for students’ future internship journeys. It inspired them to seize valuable practical opportunities to enhance their professional skills and workplace competitiveness.
