Structured student internship programme strengthening in Indonesia
Mobilising companies to participate in structured student internship is still challenging in Indonesia. To gain more insights into what makes engagement in internships difficult, several projects and Indonesian institutions collaborated to survey businesses. One of the main reason for companies not engaging in internships was that the duration and the time of the internship are not aligned with the needs of the industry. An action plan has been created to provide recommendations to policymakers in order to contribute to dual VET strengthening in the country.
