"I've become more grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've got and more compassionate to those who aren't lucky as I am. That is the biggest takeaway for me from my internship."

Civic Internships
Civic Internships enable students to work in socially responsible workplaces, and apply their skills and knowledge to promote social good. While this develops them to become work-ready professionals, it also nurtures them to become advocates who help build a better world.
Currently some 100 organisations and companies are on board as our Civic Internship partners. Interested in signing up for Civic Internship? Email us at np_ci@np.edu.sg to explore the internship positions available for the current semester and find your fit.

Corporate Purpose Internships
NP is the first polytechnic to launch a Corporate Purpose Internship (CPI) programme, open to Year 3 students across all 36 diplomas. Students will apply their domain skills and knowledge to social impact projects relevant to the business strategy of their internship company, learning that doing good can help companies do well. NP piloted the CPI from September 2023, developed in collaboration with corporate partners Capella Hotels & Resorts, ofi and Sodexo. NP’s CPI was fully rolled out in September 2024 with additional partners from a range of MNCs, SMEs and non-profit organisations including Fullerton Health and Stewardship Asia Centre.
Corporate Purpose Internships are supported by the School of Humanities & Interdisciplinary Studies (HMIS).
Vacation Internships
NP students can take on non-credit bearing internships from their first year. Vacation internships are short internships (6 to 8 weeks) that run during the semester breaks in end-February to mid-April or end-August to mid-October. These internships are great for employers who are looking for interns to work on short-term projects.
