[[https://moodlearning.com|moodLearning]] is privileged to host interns. Over the years, moodLearning has been working with interns with diverse backgrounds (computer science, information technology, industrial engineering and other engineering programs, business, social sciences), as the organization tries to be a positive influence in the development and career choices of students. [[https://moodlearning.com|moodLearning]] is proud to be an internship destination of top schools in Metro Manila and even of some schools from the provinces and abroad. Providing an effective mentoring relationship between interns and [[https://moodlearning.com|moodLearning]] staff is at the core of our internship program.

  * Interns are expected to use moodLearning's project management platform to keep track of their projects.
  * Unsatisfactory performance of duties and responsibilities, together with absenteeism and tardiness, is a ground for dismissal from the internship program.
