In this era, it is essential to acknowledge the importance of learning and gaining experience. Students have the right to obtain a clear understanding of how far their personal potential can develop. This leads to various opportunities, like internship programs, continuing to be offered by the government. Through internship programs, students can explore and gain more experience in the career field they desire to pursue. Internships allow students to refine their skills, gain self-confidence, and prepare themselves for their future careers.
To contribute support to this aspiration, the government carries out IGIP 2024. IGIP, which stands for International Global Internship Program, is a worldwide program that allows participants to work abroad for a specified amount of time.
