Letter Requests

Companies may sometimes request a letter from the school to demonstrate confirmed placement for various reasons. The reasons ranged from CPF exemptions to various government grant applications.

Credit-endorsed internship letter

The credit-endorsed internship typically applies to 3rd-year students going on their compulsory internship programme.

Only upon official confirmation of an internship with a verified organization, you can get the company to write directly to Career and Attachment office (CAO) requesting for the letter. Students can also request for the letter from the link on the NTU Internship site at: https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/ntuinternship/useful-links/

Only CAO can issue the letter and not ADM.

Please note that letter requests can take time especially during peak periods of compulsory internship programs. Please get your company to write in as soon as they require it.

What does official confirmation mean?

For those who have secured a placement via the Inplace portal, this means getting the company to make you an offer through the system and then you accepting the internship officially via the system. The acceptance of your internship offer via the Inplace portal will be considered as an official confirmation of your internship.

For those who are self-sourcing, you will have to submit the self-sourced form as soon as possible for approval. Once your self-source is approved, it will then be considered as an official confirmation of your internship.

Instructions

For credit-endorsed compulsory internship – upon official confirmation of your placement, please get the company to email CAO’s person-in-charge of ADM internships, specifying the reason and details required for the letter which can help in determining how best to provide the letter.
