A key component to these outstanding students outcome is INTI’s hands-on approach to learning that exposes students to actual working conditions in the workforce through internship placements and employer projects with the world’s leading companies. INTI students have enjoyed internship placements with several multinational organisations around the country, including a 100% acceptance rate at AEON, Infotrek, Workforce.Org, Cyber Village Sdn.
