Objective of SSM Internship
The objective of the SSM Internship programme is to instil in students a sense of professionalism and the right work
attitude so that they become effective and productive in their respective organisations much sooner than is usual.
Allowance
Students should be paid a monthly allowance. The recommended allowance is $800 per month (CPF exempted). As a
guide, most organisations are paying $700 to $1500 per month (CPF exempted) for local attachment. This subsistence
allowance paid to student is to help to defray part of the daily expenses incurred during the attachment.
Procedure for Participation
Organisations are invited to offer placements and submit programme to NTU as early as possible. Faculty staff from the
Sport Science and Management will evaluate programmes submitted by participating organisations for acceptance.
Accepted programmes would be put up for students to apply and the participating organisations would be able to shortlist
the student applications, if any, online.
Selection and Allocation of Students
All participating organisations are required to interview students or select students from applications to ensure a good fit.
This will ensure that the programme will be of value to both the supervisor and the interns. The interviews will take place
in March/April.
Note that students can apply up to five organisations for internship and they will decide which to accept if they receive
multiple offers.
Assessment of Student’s Performance at Work
Organisations should assign a supervisor who will be responsible for the students in terms of work assignments, provide
guidance and training as well as to assess the performance of the students.
The organisation supervisor will need to provide feedback on the student’s performance to the student's assigned NTU
faculty supervisor during his/her visit to the organisation. For overseas attachment, there is no visit by NTU faculty
supervisor. The supervisor will also need to complete an evaluation form twice during the entire period of the internship to
assess the performance of the students.
Certificate of Accomplishment
Students who successfully complete the SSM Internship programme will be awarded a Certificate of Accomplishment
jointly signed by the Director, Career & Attachment Office and the organisation's authorised representative.
