Abstract:
This study examines and proposes alternatives to the challenges encountered by Human Resource
Development students at Al Akhawayn University in Morocco, which hinder the success of their
internship programs and the effective implementation of HRD practices in the country. Student interns
fail to acquire the necessary experiential skills inherent in the practice of HRD due to these barriers
which eventually prompt them to change careers. Very few literature have been found regarding this
matter, and this gap indicates neglect on the importance of HRD internship and its relevance to the
institutionalization of HRD practices in the country
