Abstract
AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract this thesis studies the job satisfaction levels of 35 students who completed their internship during the covid-19 pandemic, using four variables: career development, compensation and benefits, relationship with management and work environment. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data derived during the study was carried out. It ultimately showed that internship satisfaction among the sample set varied, with most students expressing high satisfaction levels within the career development variable and low satisfaction levels within the relationship with management and compensation and benefits variables. The finding corroborates the literature discussed within the thesis. A recommendation for internship providers to prioritize effective communication, provide support/training, provide adequate compensation and an overall improvement of internship structures is essential to promoting positive internship satisfaction in the future.
