Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of long-term practical internships, focusing on the effects after entering the company, through a follow-up questionnaire survey of working adults who participated in long-term practical internships organized by an organization in Gifu Prefecture when they were students. We examined the effects of participating in a long-term practical internship by conducting a follow-up survey of participants. We were able to confirm that those who responded that they would recommend a long-term practical internship to others expected to be able to “play an active role within the company”, “communicate with people in the organization”, “play an active role by making use of their abilities”, and “promote understanding of the company” after joining the company. In addition, it was confirmed that, in the case of long-term practical internships, although the workload is high for students, there are opportunities for practical experience and challenges working with managers, which leads to growth and self-confidence.
