Practical training is one of the components in most professional courses as students are required to get some form of practice in their fields of study. These may include laboratory work, participation in workshops, and doing internships or even attending field trips and doing live projects. These activities enable the students to integrate theory with practice and polish their problem-solving and technical skills. Engineering or hospitality and management or even law tend to incorporate this through case studies, simulations and even industry attachment s.
Moreover, when students go to many of these institutions, usually there is an arrangement with different companies to take students in for internship programs or on-the-job training to market the students and network with them. Practical training increases employment opportunities by fostering one's ability to think critically analyze, work in teams, and adjust to new situations. It also instills in students a measure of preparedness to face challenges during their professional career, thus increasing their confidence and efficacy as professionals. The degree and type of practical training varies with the course, university, and industry. Different institutions usually provide details of these policies on their websites which prospective students can read to understand the practical learning aspects of programs they are interested in.
