Employers

Each student will be supervised by faculty supervisor from the school and the organization supervisor. The faculty supervisor will act as a mentor for the student as well as a contact point for the organization to matters arising during internship.

Students will be assessed on the following:

• 3 periodic online reflective e-journals assessment by faculty supervisors
• Assessment of Work in Organisations (AWO)

Participating organisation is required to:

• assign a supervisor, preferably an engineer or a professional staff to supervise the students and assess their work performance during their attachment period and
• provide a structured attachment programme, with emphasis on applications, management and hands-on experience for the student.
  

Allowance & Working Hours

The allowance to be paid to the student will be determined by the organisation. As a guide, most organisations are paying $1000 to $2000 per month (CPF exempted) for local attachment. This subsistence allowance paid to the student to meet his/her daily expenses.

Students will follow the normal office working hours of the organisation on a five-day or five-and-a-half-day week basis.

Work Permit or Training Pass

An organisation taking in a foreign student who is full-time matriculated or registered student of NTU for local attachment under NTU's attachment programme is exempted from applying for a work permit or training pass in respect of that foreign student.

Income Tax

The allowance paid to the student is not liable for income tax in Singapore as long as there is no employment contract between the student and the participating organisation.

Insurance

Students are covered against personal or bodily injuries caused by or arising out of accidents through a Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme (24-hour worldwide) arranged by NTU. The University has also taken up a Public Liability Policy Insurance to indemnify organisations against claims and damages arising as a result of providing such training facilities. The territorial limits of this coverage are confined to attachment placements within Singapore and other ASEAN countries.
