DISTED College recently held an impactful educational session titled “Internship Readiness and Employer Expectations” at the Crosby Bizlab, aiming to bridge the gap between academic education and industry standards for its students.
Organised by the School of Communication, Arts and Multimedia, the one-hour talk which focused on equipping students with crucial insights into the evolving demands of the corporate world, brought together students from various programmes.
Addressing students from various stages of their academic journey, the talk emphasised that career preparation begins long before one enters the job market. Regardless of whether students were immediately preparing for an upcoming internship or were still early in their studies, the event served as a proactive platform to instil essential career-building habits and workplace awareness.
During the session, students also gained valuable guidance on key attributes modern employers seek, ranging from practical work ethics and communication skills to adaptability in professional environments.
As industries continue to demand highly dynamic and well-prepared talents, initiatives like this reaffirm our dedication to nurturing future-ready professionals who can transition seamlessly from the classroom to the corporate sphere.
