Abstract : Work-based learning through internship and company placements is becoming popular in higher education to
provide functional integration between academic studies and work. This study analysed 50 undergraduate student internship
portfolios to understandthe current set up of internship in business studies and the induction programme given during the
early phase of theinternship.Ten interns and three company mentors were informally interviewed during the IP supervision
period of 3 years (2014-2017) to understand the depth of induction programme and common areas of knowledge transfer
during the orientation,induction andpost-inductionphase of the internship. The paper suggests improvement in the
inductionprogrammeto reduce the likelihood oftheory-practice gap in student work based learning.
