In line with the competency-based curriculum, which seeks to produce scholars with the skills needed for the evolving job market, government has been urged to incentivize the private sector to be able to take in more university students on internship basis.
Creating an enabling environment for private firms to operate in could for instance enable them to absorb more students for internship programs, and train them on the kind of practical skills that are needed, so that once they complete school, they are readily absorbed into the job market.
