4. Make the transition from school to the world of work easier and enhance students contacts for later job placements.
5. Provide students with the opportunities to apply their educational knowledge in real work situations, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice.
6. Enlist and strengthen employers involvement in the entire educational process and prepare students for employment in industry and commerce.
