Objectives of OIST Internship
The Oyam Institute of Sciences and Technology Internships are educational and career development opportunities, providing practical experience in a field or discipline. They are structured, short-term, supervised placements often focused around particular tasks or projects with defined timescales.
An internship may be compensated, non-compensated or some time may be paid. The internship has to be meaningful and mutually beneficial to the intern and the organization. The following are the intended objectives:
– To expose the students to industrial environment ( viz. various materials, processes, products and their applications along with relevant aspects of quality control which cannot be simulated in the classroom) for application of existing scientific knowledge in industrial situations
– To provide possible opportunities to learn and sharpen the real time technical and managerial skills required for professional career
– Understand the social, environmental, economic and administrative considerations that influence the working environment
– To expose students to the professional responsibilities and ethics
– To get acquainted with the working styles of industries at different hierarchy and learn to work in a team
– To gain experience in all types of professional communications (viz. pre-internship applications, during internship and documentation skills and post internship reports/projects writing skills)
– To demonstrate the impact of the internship on their lifelong learning and professional development
– To provide the linkages of future job/research opportunities to students in the organization
