SJC Internship program
Much as different professions qualify from different academic institutions, the classroom setting does not offer all the skills required for students to be able to perform to the expectations of the employers or the demands of the jobs. The SJ internship program is here to equip interns with the skills they need to perform and become outstanding at their jobs.
Summary of the programs to follow during the training.
Our internship program offers a comprehensive three-month training experience delivered entirely online. Participants can expect one live session per week, supplemented by offline practice throughout the week. To facilitate a structured learning environment, there is a supervision fee of 150,000 UgX for each applicant. Successful interns will be awarded a Certificate upon completion. As an additional incentive, participants will enjoy the privilege of free publication for one project, further enhancing the value of their internship experience.
