Academic and Internship Performance of Business Students from Local College in the Philippines

The study aimed to identify the possible significant relation between the student competencies internship performance and academic performance among the 50 students of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Marketing Management for Academic Year 2017-2018 of the Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas. The findings revealed that the respondents’ academic performance has an “Average” rating based on their Weighted Average provided by the College Registrar’s Office. Simultaneously, most of the respondents gained an “Excellent “rating on their Internship Performances. Among the indicators for the performance, evaluation is attendance, quality of work, and general attitude. The study divulges that there is no significant relationship between the students’ attendance and academic performance, while the quality of work and general attitude has a significant relationship to academic performance. Despite the study results, the researchers suggest strengthening the College Outcome-Based Curriculum to enhance students’ performance further. Collaboration with the institution’s stakeholders can partake in the formulation of the Outcome-Based Curriculum. To perform a semi-annual industry partner meeting for the institution to be updated on its latest activities may also be suggested.
