1.1 Introduction
The internship program is an opportunity for the
students and it bears a great significant for us. It familiarizes the students
with the practical business operations. The students of internship program get
the chance to understand the real business world closely and familiarize
themselves with internal and external expects of business. It gives them an
opportunity to develop the analytical skill and scholastic aptitude.
All over the world the dimension of banking has
been changing rapidly due to Deregulation, Technological innovation and
Globalization. Commercial banks in Bangladesh have to keep place with
the change in global business. Now banks have to compete in market place both
with the local institutions as well as with the foreign institutions.
To survive such a competitive banking world, two
important requirements are development of appropriate financial infrastructure
by the central bank and development of “professionalism” in the sense of
developing an appropriate manpower structure and its expertise and experience.

studies is not sufficient. An academic course of the study has a great value
when it has practical application in real life situation. So, I need proper
application of my knowledge to gate some benefit from my theoretical knowledge
make it more tactful. When I engage myself in such fields to make proper use of
my theoretical knowledge in my practical life situation. Such theoretical
knowledge is obtained from a course of study at only the half way of the
subject matter. Internship implies on other the full application of the method
and procedures through rich acquire of subject matter can be forcefully applied
in my day-to-day life situation. Such a procedure of practical application is
known as internship.
