Last March 25, 2023, via ZOOM Meetings and Facebook Live, the Society of Integrated Commercians for Academic Progress successfully hosted their Internship Webinar entitled “Hayahaya Oy: Living to Work or Working to Live.” Ms. Tessa W. Mercado, CHRA, the 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘙 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳 shared her insights and expertise on internship which includes relevant information about the documents being assessed by the Human Resources department, as well as tips in surviving job interviews.
As students prepare to be future professionals in various workplaces, the internship acquaints students with what it means to get good exposure to the challenges of the workplace. The experiential learning opportunities in an internship offer an invaluable chance for students to network and build crucial professional connections prior to graduation. Hence, the Society of Integrated Commercians for Academic Progress initiated this internship webinar for incoming interns and also for graduating students as the invited speaker has been Human Resource Manager for over a decade.
The webinar helped Louisians gain insight into the job market and how to properly communicate themselves in the professional landscape in order to build their careers. Alongside their internship programs. they are educated in the proper manners and presentation of themselves and their experiences as valuable workers in the economic landscape.
