Student Testimonials - AMU3744 Workplace Learning Internship
The internship provides students with the opportunity to integrate theory with practice, and to gain first-hand experience in working in the area of specialty in which they want to pursue after graduation. The work placement is aimed at consolidating and extending what they have learnt from core units and other Degree units, through experiential learning either in Malaysia or overseas. The unit develops their understanding of the application of academically obtained knowledge and skills in a workplace environment, and facilitates their acquisition of work-based networks for potential employment opportunities.

Chelsea Justalianus Lim “For the past 3 years, I have done three internships with three different sectors of the media industry. I was in broadcasting, advertising and journalism. I have always been in limbo in deciding which industry I want to end up in after graduating. It was not until Malaysiakini that I truly enjoyed what I did during my internship period and that I had a better picture of what I want to pursue when I finish my degree which will be soon!” | |

Doyu Kim “During my internship period, I was able to witness the real and practical issues regarding women’s rights and health and I was honoured to support women in crisis by assisting social workers and through telephone counselling. It was an invaluable and irreplaceable experience that made me realise the importance of advocacy and services in promoting equal rights to women’s self-determination and control of their lives.” | |

Kan Wai Min “Throughout my internship, as I was more involved in writing and editing papers than before, I think I realised the value and importance of academic research. Besides that, I also became more aware of my privilege - the privilege of a quality education at Monash and the privilege of doing an internship in another country, which I am so thankful for.” |
