This study evaluated internees rating of internship program in selected universities of South-western Nigeria. Specifically, personal characteristics of participants and internees rating of the internship training programmes in meeting internees’ expectations in the focal universities were investigated. Multistage sampling technique was employed to select two hundred and sixty seven internees from the selected universities. namely Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAB) and Ekiti State University (EKSU). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that the internees were between 21 and 25 years in LAUTECH (67.4%), OAU (70.6%), FUNAAB (81.8%) and EKSU (88.5%). The mean age of most of the respondents was 25years in LAUTECH while the mean age of internees from OAU, FUNAAB and EKSU was 24years. Team work has been the most effective mean of actualizing internees’ expectation in LAUTECH (wms=3.60) and OAU (wms=3.28), effective communication was perceived as an effective criteria for actualizing internees’ expectation in EKSU (wms = 3.81) while initiative generation was identified as the most effective means of achieving internees’ expectation in FUNAAB (wms = 4.01). The result of the finding therefore revealed that initiative through internship training programme had been identified as the most effective characteristics for actualizing internees’ expectations across all the focal universities.
