how many times do ppl need to repeat that go ask help from ur uni? doesnt matter u sign on ur own or what, but you are still a student of the uni, and the internship training is part of uni's extra curricular. the lecturers/supervisors are assigned for a reason.
or go and get the vice chancellor/faculty's dean.

or u really trust anon's on internets who u never met?

Are you sure this is the right course of action? Your future employer might ask for references from your industrial training company.

One approach is to discuss with the company where is the technical aspect of learning that was agreed in the contracts, so that you can contribute to the company.

Btw, you still haven't answer my question... How long more you need to continue working there?

Firstly, if there's someone who can help you out, its your uni, or at least the lecturer in charge / co-ordinators for this industrial training program.

Secondly, despite what's going on in the company, it is not advisable to leave the company. Some of my friends who are doing training clean longkang and toilet at the company also. If you quit, not only you will fail your training, but your reputation suffers also. Remember that the industry is a big network of companies, and bad reputation about your name would be the last thing you want to happen.

Review the agreement again, if you really need legal advice, consult a lawyer or even maybe the education / labour ministry.

Dont be too terburu-buru no matter how bad the situation is...otherwise you might be the one who will suffer..

I would appreciate if you mention the name of the company so that other's wont go and apply for a internship in that lousy company.

There are other's too out there falling into a trap and made to do lousy work.

If your uni refused to help you, your uni is no good.

I would suggest seeking help from university FIRST. Consult your lecturer or supervisor or better still go to your faculty dean and talk to him, ask him for advise.

Furthermore, this internship / industrial training program is part of the university's subject. Hence, the University has full responsible on this matter.

EVEN tough YOU yourself SIGNED the contract, it is THEIR responsibility to ensure that everything you're doing in the company is to be updated to them frequently including what you signed because no matter how, you're still representing your University NOT YOURSELF.

Your company should NOT simply let their trainee's to sign ANY contract unless your university is notified and aware about this. If your university does not know about this contract earlier, then they can take serious actions against your company for not notifying them.

The contract itself already got problem as TRAINEES allocated by University is still classified as STUDENT and NOT your company's PERMANENT STAFF hence DOES NOT HAVE to pay anything to the company for stopping the training due to reasonable reasons. eg. Work does not related to Study Field.

Like what mentioned by other forumer here, I totally agreed that your BEST STRONG support NOW is your University! Only them can get you out from this MESS.
