SEGi College Sarawak offer international internship
KUCHING
– International internships are one of the most
effective ways of giving students the experience of a different working
culture, said the Principal of SEGi College Sarawak, Madam Elina Tiu in her
speech during the English Intensive Programme Graduation Ceremony that took
place in the main campus at Jalan Bukit Mata recently.
11 Students from Daeduk University and
Tongwon University of South Korea graduated last week after completing their
English Intensive Programme in SEGi College Sarawak.
The partnership programme with two of
the prominent universities in South
Korea enabled their students to experience everything Malaysia has to offer as
well as attending their English language course, specifically catered to them
as part of the their internship programmes in their respective university.
Through this programme, the students
will not just participate in an English language enhancement programme for a
number of weeks but they will also send to either 4 or 5-star hotel to commence
on their internship.
“We believe that the international internship
programmes will sharpen the skills that you learned in class”
“The whole experienced will teach you to
use the foreign language that was taught and to apply it in this kind of
internship requirement will really test how much you learned – if you just
learned the language in a mediocre way then you will have a hard time during
your internship and a lot of catching up will need to be done” said Tiu.
She also added that through internship,
the students explore a variety career options, sharpen their skills in
cross-cultural communication and negotiations, and deepen their understanding
of the challenges of the global economy.
She explained that the programme is
designed for students who wish to improve their English language skills and
gain more work experience in Malaysia. These international students would have
the opportunity to utilise the language in an everyday work environment.
The certificates were issued by the
respective hotels to the Korean students upon completion of the programme.
“It is very
exciting to be able to offer this meaningful learning opportunity to them”
added Tiu.
“It is more
than a language study abroad programme. Through an internship, the Korean
student can give something back to the (host) country, instead of simply
absorbing its language and culture – the experience is more significant when
both sides contribute”.
With 35 years of experience in providing
industry driven diplomas and degrees, SEGi College has made itself one of the
most prominent colleges in Malaysia.
The college provide its students with a
broad-based knowledge and employment skills for dealing with demanding jobs in
fast-changing globalised world.
“We have carefully structured our
courses so that they can cover a wide range of professional skills and
knowledge closely based on what the industry demands and an extensive range of
subjects and courses that will help students to excel in their chosen career”
