Abstract
This study examines the role of internships in preparing students for employment in Basilan State College. A total of 41 students pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science who completed their internship as part of their educational program were surveyed using a Google Form questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used to select the respondents. The results showed that the majority of the students found their internships to be meaningful and relevant to their career interests and goals, providing them with opportunities to work on meaningful projects and receive feedback and guidance from experienced professionals. Students also expressed a high level of satisfaction with their overall internship experience and believed that internships are essential for preparing students for the workforce. Recommendations for improving the internship programs at Basilan State College include providing more guidance and support to students in identifying and applying for internships, increasing the number of available internship opportunities, and increasing opportunities for networking and building relationships with professionals in their field. Overall, this study highlights the importance of internships in preparing students for employment and provides valuable insights for improving internship programs in educational institutions
