Abstract

Internship programs serve as a crucial bridge between academic knowledge and practical workplace experience, shaping individuals' skills and perspectives for their future careers. This study investigates the factors influencing job intention among undergraduate senior students in the College of Economics and Management (CEM) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). Utilizing an online survey, data was collected from 134 participants who had completed internship programs. Employing ordinal logistic regression analysis, the study examines the impact of various factors on job intention. Findings reveal that the training program and nature of the job significantly affect students' intent for a job. Recommendations for future research include employing randomized sampling methods, refining measurement scales and questionnaires, and expanding sample sizes to enhance the reliability and applicability of findings in this field.
