Why practical experience is useful
Practical exposure helps students see how HR functions operate beyond textbooks. It can also help develop communication, organisation, confidentiality, teamwork and professional conduct.
Students can gain experience through internships, industrial training, volunteering and other legitimate workplace opportunities. The exact industrial training arrangement depends on the institution and programme.
