This study attempts to investigate the outcome of internship programme in the Sociology and Anthropology department (IIUM). Findings from this study explicitly show that internship among students from this discipline has essentially improved their soft skills and increased their work-place literacy and well-being. Despite the lack of information about this discipline as well as its practicality aspects by the industry, Sociology and Anthropology students are well accepted in both private and public sectors to undertake their internship training.
