Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine impact of industrial internship training on oral communication skills of engineering students during this program. Fifty engineers from two engineering organizations participated in this study. Participants of this study had industrial internship training from different organizations. Purposive sampling method was used for data collection purpose. The results of the study revealed that industrial internship trainings contribute to develop oral communication skills of engineering students such as oral presentation skill, meeting skill, discussion skill, conversation skill, and project participation skill during this internship program. However, the results of this study are consistent with other literature review findings on industrial internship trainings for engineering students.

Industrial internships play paramount role for engineering graduates to perform workplace jobs effectively at workplace
The results of this study reported that industrial internships contribute to develop oral communication skills of engineering students
With technical skills engineering students develop oral communication skills because employer surveys indicate that oral communication skill is an important aspect of modern workplace communication
Summary
Industrial internships play paramount role for engineering graduates to perform workplace jobs effectively at workplace. Industrial internships play significant role to keep abreast engineering students about real world of work prior to joining the workplace. Industry demands from engineering graduates to be equipped with relevant workplace skills and knowledge in order to promote its business and increase its workplace productivity. Employers hire engineering graduates equipped with relevant work experience because engineering graduates equipped with industrial experience augment workplace productivity of organizations at a large measure. On the contrary, engineering graduates equipped with poor workplace skills and knowledge harm the interests of employers as well as organizations. Communication research demonstrates that engineering graduates equipped with internship experience perform better jobs compared to graduates who fall short in this experience
