“…In our country, the education of university-industry cooperation has experienced five periods of development and changes. In the first stage, under the guidance of the party's education policy and science and technology policy, in the 1950s and 1960s, the scientific and educational personnel of colleges and universities actively participated in production practice and began to take steps to cooperate with enterprises, and the cooperation at this stage was mainly government-driven [15].

“…The study of Sahrir et al (2016) revealed that the extent of practice of the soft skills of fifty-seven interns (of which were twentyfive education students) was high after completing a three-month internship. On the contrary, the studies of Ravindran and Bandara (2015) and Ahmad et al (2018) discovered that the extent of practice of the soft skills of the student interns was only moderately high. Furthermore, Ismael, Ahmad, and Awang (2017) disclosed that the extent of practice of communication and leadership skills of four hundred eighty Polytechnic students in Malaysia was moderately high.…”

This paper aimed to determine the extent of practice of the soft skills of student interns along the dimensions, namely: collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, leadership, and selfregulation. Specifically, this paper purposed to ascertain significant differences in the extent of practice of the soft skills of student interns along the aforementioned dimensions and when they were grouped according to sex, program, and campus. Furthermore, the challenges that the student interns encountered in the acquisition of soft skills were also identified. The respondents were the 345 student interns of Carlos Hilado Memorial State College enrolled during the School Year 2018-2019. Employing the descriptivecomparative research design, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to gather data about the soft skills of the respondents. Mean, Independent Samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and frequency were used to gather data. The findings reveal that the extent of practice of the six soft skills among student interns when they were taken as a whole was high. There was no significant difference in the extent of practice of the six soft skills when they were classified according to sex. However, there was a significant difference in the extent of practice of the six soft skills when they were classified according to campus and college. The top five challenges that the student interns encountered in the acquisition of soft skills were lack of selfconfidence, fear of committing mistakes, fear of being laughed at, being anxious about others’ impressions or reactions, and lack of confidence in their knowledge or abilities.

This paper aims to examine the accounting undergraduates' action plan in designing their first career to increase their chances to be employed immediately after they graduate. This is essential given that the growing unemployment rate were reported in the nation. Using a qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted involving five finalyear students and five work supervisors/managers in Melaka, Malaysia. The study discovered that undergraduates' initial decision about which career path to pursue will influence their internship placement. To guarantee post-graduation employment, undergraduates should be prepared for real-world challenges, equipped with computer skills, soft skills, interpersonal skills, good time management, and be able to integrate internship experiences with academic knowledge. Employers expect undergraduates to comprehend accounting standards and guidelines like MFRS, MPERS, and MPSAS and possess good attitudes and interpersonal skills. Hence, discovering undergraduates' action plan may provide opportunities to explore areas for improvement in internship practices from the perspectives of key stakeholders including university department leaders, work supervisors/managers, lecturers as well as final year students. It is vital as work-based experiences have become increasingly important in education prior to beginning a career as it allows students to develop skills and competencies that determine their employability. Future research should include more public and private universities as it will provide more generalizability of insights into Malaysian accountancy undergraduates' action plans in designing their first career as well as involving more participants.
