ABSTRACT

The internship management of vocational college students is an important part of cultivating skilled talents, but there are still many problems in the current internship management practice. This study explores the main problems existing in the internship management of vocational college students, including the lack of pertinence of pre-internship training, the lack of resources of the mentor team, the disconnection between the internship content and career goals, the insufficient support of mentors during the internship process, the poor communication and feedback mechanism, and the imperfect post-internship feedback mechanism. In order to solve these problems, this study proposes a series of improvement strategies. The results of this study provide practical guidance for improving the quality of internship management in vocational colleges, and help students better realize the transition from school to professional role.
