Internship Presentation - 31-05-2024

Internship Presentation after 6 Months of Industry Experience
Hello students, Do you remember Friday, 7th June 2024?
You stand before all of us and your friends as a proud intern who has completed six months of industry experience. Meeting your friends - one of the most exciting aspects of visiting college after a long break. The bond you share with your classmates is truly special, and catching up with them is always a delightful experience – as your teachers, we understand that – we have gone through the same phase.
It is a phase of mixed emotions. On the one hand, there is nostalgia for all the exciting moments you want to share with your friends. On the other hand, there is a slight worry about the presentation.
Walking through the corridors of the college, the memories come flooding back. It is incredible. It feels like it was just yesterday that you were studying in those classrooms, and now you are industry-ready.
Just a day before the farewell session, you prepare for the presentation – you are excited to share the internship experience with classmates and the panel members but simultaneously sad to see the end of one journey – which is obviously the beginning of a new one. You eagerly await the moment the presentation is over, and now they call you for the photograph.
This is a special moment for us teachers, too! As a teacher, this is the last time we will meet you all together. Teachers also form deep bonds with you students, and saying goodbye can be an emotional experience for us, just like you students. As students move on to a new chapter in their lives, we may miss the daily interactions and conversations that were part of the teaching experience. You spent 7 semesters with us in the classroom and were then are exposed to a new world in the 8th – the internship semester.
You might have realized that industry internships are crucial in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills before graduation - the hands-on experience and real-world exposure, the opportunity to establish connections with professionals in the industry, and the chance to develop and refine the skills in a real-world setting, etc. So, we hope that during the internships, you have bridged the gap between academic learning and the demands of the job market and are well-prepared for the challenges of the working world.
We, as teachers, are always proud of our students' success, and each one of you is a gem with a positive impact you have on each other's lives. We will definitely be missing the joy of witnessing this personal growth. 🎓 All the best for your future endeavours. Good luck to batch 20-24
