| description | This study attempts to investigate the outcome of the internship
training program in the Department of Arabic Language and
Literature, at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
Methodologically, this study was conducted to gather the
opinions and experience on the internship program among Arabic
language and literature students. The participants were
purposively selected from 57 out of 66 students who have
completed their three months internship program either in the
public or private sector from July to September 2015 by using an
online survey and open-ended questionnaire. General findings
from this study show that internship training has essentially
improved their soft skills and increased their workplace literacy
and well-being. Despite the poor perception of Arabic language in
the mutual graduate employability as well as its practicality
aspects and job market by the industry, Arabic language and
literature students are well accepted in both private and public
sectors to undertake their internship training as reported in this
article. In conclusion, internship training is crucial, particularly
among Arabic language and literature students as it enriches their
experiences, knowledge and skills in both their personal and
social life. It also increased their level of confidence to explore
their future opportunity in the Malaysian job market including
setting up their own businesses through entrepreneurship
