Internship Opportunities

Kepler College supports  students to get industrial experience in partnership with its employer partners. Students’ practical work experience through Internship is a requirement at Kepler College and an impactful strategy to connect our students to the labor market and also get feedback on the effectiveness of our pedagogy. Students must have internship experience before graduation to assess their learning through practice at the workplace and fill any gaps observed during this internship. Kepler College also conducts a series of job readiness  sessions by inviting speakers from its  employer partners to share the nature of work with our students. We host an Annual Career Fair to inform students about the job market and employer expectations by bringing employer partners and students  together.
