This paper aims to create actionable insights that bridge the gap between academic achievements and internship performance, recognizing the significance of aligning theoretical knowledge with practical experiences. Acknowledging the observed weak correlation between academic and internship performance within HEIs, this study proposes actionable insights as a solution to narrow this gap, facilitating a more seamless transition from academic success to professional readiness. The methodological approach involves a comprehensive literature review, the creation of a research tool encompassing actionable insights, and its distribution to experts for validation. A thematic approach is then employed to analyze the qualitative data collected, ensuring a robust and verified foundation for the derived insights. Findings from the study indicate a positive impact of the proposed actionable insights on students' internship and job performance, fostering a transformation into well-prepared individuals who excel both academically and professionally.
