Abstract
Governments and private institutions give internship opportunities to fresh graduates for
the purpose of training and enchantment of skills. National Internship Program is first of
such types of national level internships provided by the government of Pakistan. This
study was designed to investigate its impact on fresh graduates of Karachi-Pakistan.
Five hypotheses were formulated in order to know the relation of NIP on the educational
qualification, gender, nature of job, and confidence. A questionnaire was constructed
consisting of thirty three items. A sample of 105 fresh graduate interns (male=31,
female=74) of NIP were selected by random sampling technique through the list
provided on the official website (NIP, 2012). The interns were approached in the
institutions where they were placed by NIP. After the collection of data, statistical
analysis was conducted that included descriptive statistics and inferential statists. It
reviled that four hypotheses were accepted and one was not accepted. The results
indicate that NIP is related to educational qualification, nature of Job, gender and level
of confidence. It also revealed that NIP is not related to age. Recommendations for the
betterment in the NIP are also suggested.
