They must submit by the stipulated deadline regardless when they end their internship. Late submissions will not be entertained unless prior approval is obtained for an extension of timeline. The intellectual content of the written report should form the core of the 1000 words as this highlights the student’s experiences, reflection and benefits gained from the industry training.
