The 3-month commitment requires you to be dedicated to the program and you may not take up any other assignment/ job/ internship/ freelance work within this duration. Upon successful completion of the 3-month internship, each intern will be awarded a “Completion Certificate” subject to satisfactory achievement of tasks assigned and hours spent as committed.
