Internship experiences make candidates more competitive in the job market. In addition to gaining exposure and experience in the field, they also provide an opportunity to get personal experience in research and development. By 2030, there will be a global shortage of 45 million university-educated workers (McKinsey). There is an increased need for highly skilled graduates; therefore, your internship choice should be based on the skills you want to strengthen for your career development. At SBD Lab, we always make sure that the intern will develop three sets of skills (technical, management-communication and reporting-writing). Some examples are listed below:

  • Technical Skills: Data Acquisition Techniques (performance monitoring), Building Modeling Techniques, Building Auditing Techniques, Climatic Analysis Techniques, Sustainability Assessment (LCA and Rating Systems), Life Cycle Costing, Post-Occupancy Evaluation, Observations (non-biased) and Statistical Analysis
  • Management and Soft Skills: Planning - Professional Management - Team Playing - Professional Communication
  • Reporting and Writing Skills: Reporting skills - Scientific writing - Effective graphical visualization - Referencing and annotation
