The internship submission should consist of:

• Internship report checklist

• Cover page

• Contents

• Summary

• Answers to questions

• Internship place evaluation form

• Intern evaluation form in a sealed, stamped and signed envelope with the code number on it

• Signed and approved internship acceptance form (The internship acceptance form must be printed through SYS and signed by the institution where the internship is conducted.)

In the daily report section of the internship report, an A4 page is filled in for each day of the internship in response to the 5th question. This page will be prepared using the Internship Report Format and will include your responses to four questions and one image to illustrate your responses. If you desire to add more than one image to an internship day, the formatted page should be duplicated and the questions should be answered in the same way for the added images. Each page should be stamped and signed by the internship supervisor at the firm.
