	%X Internship is a supervised and structured learning
experience related to one’s field of study or career goal. Internship
allows students to obtain work experience and the opportunity to
apply skills learned during university. Internship is a valuable
learning experience for students; however, literature on employer
assessment is scarce on Malaysian student’s internship experience.
This study focuses on employer’s perspective on student’s
performances during their three months of internship. The results are
based on the descriptive analysis of 45 sets of question gathered from
the on-site supervisors of the interns. The survey of 45 on-site
supervisor’s feedback was collected through postal mail. It was found
that, interns have not met their on-site supervisor’s expectations in
many areas. The significance of this study is employer’s assessment
on the internship shall be used as feedback to improve on ways how
to prepare students for their internship and employments in future.
