This study's purpose is to find out their views on the importance of apprenticeship activities and their impact on the creation of quality talent. The results of the analysis in this study show that in complicated economic conditions, then according to the recognition para-intern, place student paying internship apprentice has been a favorite. So that internships are one way to fill the void in the workforce in industries that have experienced a negative impact from the Covid-19 pandemic.
