FOUR students from the University of PNG (UPNG) school of business and public policy (SBPP) did their police internship in two months.
Naomi Daniel, Lais Tangui, Sheena Naeman and Anna Peter were part of the programme initiated by SBPP to ensure third-year students obtained skills from work placements, especially those doing the human resource courses at UPNG.
SBPP representative Raymond John said the internship programme was for work placements into organisations to allow all third-year students to gain a hands-on experience of what it was like working in the human resources and business environment.
“The main focus for the work place they are placed in is to impart work experience, practical skills and help develop their skills and be ready for the industry,” he said.
“In 2020, not a lot of organisations allowed our students to be part of their organisation as the Covid-19 impacted the programme but the constabulary was generous to get six students from the school.
“Human resource professionals are important to any organisation as they bring in employees who will be better in that office.
“I thank the Royal PNG Constabulary on behalf of the school for allowing these students to complete their programme.
“At the end of the internship, the students are required to compile a report on their time in the work place, experiences and challenges as part of their assessment.”
