Abstract This study assessed the effectiveness of the internship program for Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT)-Cosmetology students, focusing on skills development, professional growth, and perceived issues during implementation. The research explored students’ demographic profiles, the business environments where they trained, and the range of beauty and wellness services they practiced. Findings revealed that most students were young women aged 21–22 years who completed internships exclusively in salons offering haircutting, styling, manicure, pedicure, makeup, and hair dressing services. Overall, students rated the program highly in terms of achieving learning objectives, with strong agreement that it effectively bridged theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Technical skill enhancement was evident across all service areas, although slightly lower scores in advanced techniques such as blending makeup and using cutting tools indicated opportunities for further practice. Roles and responsibilities, including punctuality, task completion, and compliance with professional standards, were rated as well-observed, reflecting students’ commitment and readiness for employment. However, several issues emerged, including lack of exposure to diverse client situations, mentors managing too many interns, inconsistent reflection practices, and limited detailed feedback on assessments. These concerns highlight the need for strengthened supervision, structured reflection activities, and more targeted skill development sessions. The study concludes that while the internship program provides comprehensive hands-on training and successfully prepares students for careers in the beauty industry, enhancements in monitoring, mentoring, and assessment processes will ensure higher standards of competence, confidence, and employability among graduates. Recommendations for improvement were proposed to address identified gaps and sustain program quality.
