Many students find it challenging to write their Industrial Attachment Reports after completing their internships. That’s why I’ve prepared this sample report to serve as a reference for you. It’s a guide to help you understand what to include, how to structure your report, and how to present it professionally.
Remember — don’t copy it word-for-word. Instead, use it as a model to prepare your own unique report based on your actual experience.
