Information for ADM Faculty

Faculty play an important part in students’ internship development and welfare. Faculty facilitate mentorship for students who may be stepping into the industry for the first time to experience fast paced learning outside of the classroom and to develop their interpersonal skills. Faculty may also further participate by introducing industry contacts for internship opportunities for ADM students. Below are some FAQs from faculty regarding the ADM internship programme.

Q: I have been allocated to be the faculty supervisor for students going on internship. What do I have to do?

• Contact your allocated students so that they are aware that you are the designated internship faculty supervisor.
• Provide moral support and mentorship for students when the need arises
• Sending a mid-progress email check to the organization to ensure student performance is going well and to determine if any intervention is required
• Reading and checking 3 reflective online e-journals submitted by students over a 10 weeks period.
• Provide final grades and feedback on their reflective journals
• Act as a mediation contact point for both student and organization should the need arise

Q:  I am not in Singapore during the summer period. How can I mentor the students?

Supervising and mentorship is done via an online platform (InPlace). It can be done remotely from your workstation anywhere throughout the 10 weeks period. The online platform supports both Mac + PC and across most versions of operating systems.

Communication between students and the organisation they are interning for is typically done through email correspondence, video conferencing, online meetings, or phone calls.
