Apprenticeship and internship are complete each other, because both work to make students have more skills about their specialization and helping them to find more and more job apportunity.
In the same day we had a group activity about apprenticeship in Kurdistan. The questions were as follows:
- What is degree apprenticeship and do you think is applicable in Kurdistan?
