The Industrial Training is a core component to the FAS learning experience. By sending students for internships and attachments in companies around Malaysia, the module is designed to provide students with the opportunity to:
- Discover and familiarize themselves with professional requirements, work culture, and discipline
- Observe real-life practices and apply the technical skills they have learned in authentic settings
- Develop soft skills such as leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills in a working environment
The attachment is also a great opportunity for students to test out the companies and/or industries they will be working in in the near future, as well as for companies to identify potential future employees.
FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS
The FAS IA Committee has implemented a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Industrial Training module. For further information, please refer to the WBLE.
