Descrição:
Institutions of higher learning have long been recognized as essential sources of knowledge for individuals seeking to solve real-life problems and improve their value in the workforce. However, despite their best efforts, many graduates lack the necessary hard and soft skills to excel in their chosen careers. As an accountant-turned-lecturer, I have observed this phenomenon firsthand and felt compelled to take action. To address this issue, I undertook a project aimed at preparing graduates from the Accountancy Program at the University of Guyana's School of Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation (SEBI) for success in their careers. In conducting this project, I conducted an action-based research study consisting of three cycles. In the first two cycles, I delved into the perceptions of learners and lecturers regarding the need for instructional development in the degree program. Both groups agreed that it was necessary to implement appropriate innovations to improve the teaching of the program. In the third cycle, I interviewed employers to get their perspective on implementing an instructional innovation. The results of these interviews were striking, as they led to the development of an internship program that would allow students to practice their knowledge and learn soft and hard skills while being attached to institutions. To determine the impact of such programs, I studied other degree programs that currently have internship and attachment programs. From my investigation, I learned that learners have a positive attitude towards internships, and that they can help learners gain more skills than they get in class when implemented well. Given the success of similar programs in other degree programs, I propose the implementation of an internship program in the Accountancy Program in SEBI. The program's goal is to improve the knowledge, skills, and experience of its graduates and help them succeed in their chosen careers. With the introduction of such a program, students will have the opportunity to learn through hands-on experience, allowing them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the workforce. Overall, this program's success will contribute to enhancing the reputation of the institution, attracting more potential students, and increasing its graduates' employability.
