This study investigates industries' willingness to hire computer science student interns from the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sabah Branch. The internship program is essential to UiTM Sabah's Diploma of Computer Science program. This project attempts to bridge the gap between academia, industry and increase the internship chances of computer science students by identifying their needs, expectations and concerns. A survey was distributed to the computing-related industries in the Sabah region. The study's conclusions will significantly impact the future of computer science education in Sabah. It is expected to provide recommendations for improving the internship program at the UiTM Sabah Branch and enhancing the employability of computer science graduates by assessing the challenges and opportunities for computer science internships. Furthermore, this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on internship programs and their impact on student learning and employability, especially in Sabah. Overall, this research can assist academics, industry representatives, and policymakers in improving the quality of computer science education and ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the job market's demands.
