Abstract The study examined the experiential learning and workplace satisfaction of criminology interns during their internship in the tri-bureaus (Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology) for the academic year 2023-2024. Using a descriptive-comparative design, data were collected from Naga College Foundation interns through a questionnaire.
Findings showed that interns achieved a very high level of experiential learning across all three agencies. In the PNP, they excelled in teamwork, community policing, and observational learning. In the BFP, they gained expertise in emergency response, technical knowledge, and firefighting techniques. In the BJMP, they developed skills in correctional practices, institutional dynamics, and performance improvement through feedback.
Interns also reported high workplace satisfaction, citing mentorship, effective communication, relevant training, and career guidance as key factors. Lastly, the study found no significant difference in workplace satisfaction across training environment, social relations, competence, and opportunities, indicating a consistently positive experience in all aspects of their internship.
