Internships offer significant opportunities for students to explore their talents and become future leaders. Stella Maris School Gading Serpong’s Grade 10 IB Internship Program is a unique journey where students learn by doing things outside of regular classes. By working in real-life situations, they not only develop new skills but also learn how to solve problems and collaborate with others.
Stella Maris School Gading Serpong encourages students to be proactive and actively participate in their learning path. This program represents a continuation of our commitment to student development, building on the strong foundation laid by past internship experiences. During the program’s two weeks, students have the chance to learn more about their areas of interest and acquire real-world experience in practical situations. They strengthen their current skill set and pick up new ones that will help them in their future endeavors.
The internship program at Stella Maris School Gading Serpong is an exceptional opportunity for students to immerse themselves in real-world experiences and develop critical skills for their future aspirations. Through partnerships with prestigious universities and industry-leading corporations like Mandiri Bank, Maju Bank, Prasetya Mulya University, and Dance Station, students are exposed to a diverse range of industries and roles. Participants engage in many tasks covering marketing, social media management, customer service, teller operations, and administration. These priceless experiences enable students to gain the essential skills and competencies required for success in both their academic and professional endeavors and provide them with real-world insights into professional settings.
Students who have completed the internship program share their lessons and insights.
