Abstract

Internship programmes are a critical bridge between academic learning and workplace performance, yet their effectiveness depends heavily on the quality of training and development provided to student interns. This study aims to examine how structured training, ongoing development activities, and performance feedback influence interns’ task performance, soft skills, and readiness for employment. Using a mixed-method design, quantitative survey data from internship students and workplace supervisors are complemented by qualitative interviews exploring perceptions of training content, supervision quality, and learning climate. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and regression to test relationships between training practices, learning outcomes, and performance ratings, while thematic analysis will be applied to interview transcripts to identify patterns in interns’ learning experiences. The study is expected to show that clearly designed training, mentoring, and continuous evaluation enhance interns’ technical competence, soft skills, and problem‑solving efficacy, thereby improving overall internship performance and employability. Findings will inform higher education institutions and host organizations in designing evidence‑based training frameworks that maximise the developmental impact of internship programmes.

Abstract

The rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents a transformative shift in the global financial landscape, challenging traditional financial models and offering new possibilities for a more inclusive and efficient financial system. This study aims to explore the opportunities and challenges that DeFi poses to the conventional financial sector, focusing on its impact on banking, credit systems, investments, and payment systems. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including secondary data analysis, expert interviews, and first-hand experience with DeFi protocols such as lending, borrowing, and arbitrage. The findings highlight the significant potential of DeFi in creating alternative financial models that can increase financial inclusion, enhance access to capital, and reduce transaction costs. Recent data indicates that the Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi platforms has surged to over $50 billion as of January 2025, reflecting growing adoption. Additionally, daily transaction volumes across major DeFi platforms have reached approximately $10 billion, with active users exceeding 4 million globally. However, the research also identifies critical challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, security vulnerabilities, and the complexity of DeFi platforms, which pose barriers to mainstream adoption. This paper contributes to the understanding of how DeFi can reshape the financial ecosystem, offering insights into its future potential, the risks involved, and the steps required to address the existing challenges. Furthermore, it underscores the need for ongoing research into the regulatory aspects of DeFi and its collaboration with traditional financial institutions.
