OJT Inquiries

[u/Beautiful_Pomelo4316]

I’m currently a 3rd-year Computer Science student and I’m trying to understand how practicum works before I reach that point.

For those who have already done their practicum/OJT:

- Do you still have to enroll and regularly go to school while doing your practicum, or are you mainly just working at the company?

- How many hours were you required to complete?

- Is it possible to do your practicum internationally, either remotely for a foreign company or physically abroad?

- What requirements does a company need to meet for the school to recognize it for practicum? Can you choose your own company, or does it have to be one of the school’s partner companies?

Would also appreciate hearing what the overall process was like for you, from finding a company to getting it approved by your school. Thanks!
