anyone else feel like internship culture in sg is kinda broken for poly students?
currently doing my internship attachment and honestly the whole thing feels a bit off. most companies just want free labour to do admin stuff — filing, data entry, making slides. barely any actual learning.
the worst part is when they list "AI experience preferred" in the JD but then don't actually use any AI tools in the company at all. it's just there to sound modern. meanwhile poly doesn't really teach us how to use AI for actual work either, so everyone's just winging it.
anyone else feel like there's a massive gap between what companies say they want and what they actually give you exposure to? curious if it's just my industry (media/marketing) or if it's across the board #local source
