CHAPTER 5 : FINDING AND RECOMMENDATIONS

While undergoing a 20 weeks of industrial training at PERUNDING NFL

SDN. BHD., there are a lot of new knowledge that I have learnt, regardless of

the knowledge which related to our respective course or the knowledge for

office management itself. With the implication of industrial training, students

get to experience the real nature of working environment. This enable

students to instill certain a certain quality in them and can reduce

nervousness. Other than that, by implementing industrial training, students

were able to adapt oneself with problems that often faced by every

employee, this will enable students to become more mature and can carry

out the duty that was given to them with the best efforts. Everything that has

been learned by the students while undergoing the industrial training will be

useful to them when they reach their working days later in their life.

56

Apart from that, there are also a few matters that need to be improved by

either the Polytechnic or the firm or the company itself. Among the

improvements that can be suggested are :

1. Implement the usage of English Language during lecture in class. The

usage of English language is very important when working in the field

that revolved around development because most of the business

deals were carried out using English language. Most of the

Polytechnic students are unskilled in speaking in English. For

example, business meetings were usually carried out by using English

language. So, to student that less skilled in that particular language,

the matter of discussions in the meetings will not be understood by the

students. This will affect the students learning experience. I hope that

the management of the Polytechnic will stress more on the English

language usage among students.

2. The managements of Polytechnic especially UPLI (Unit Perhubungan

Dan Latihan Industri ) should hold more visits to the place where

trainees who were undergoing the industrial training as often as 2 or 3

times along the 20 weeks of training to monitor their development and

to ensure that students are always on the watch and monitored at all

time.

57

3. The firm were supposed to understand students more. What does it

mean by understand students more is that the firm should not give the

student any work that they do not know without giving any guidance

on how to do the work correctly and leave the students to figure it out

by him/herself. This is because sometimes, the work that had been

given was yet to be learned by the students, so, they need some

guidance first before they can start working on the task that were

given to them.

Generally, by undergoing industrial training, students has been given a

valuable experience and the understanding on the relationship between what

they had learned theoretically with what they need to do practically. However,

during this industrial training period also, the students had been given the

opportunity to adapt themself with new discovery that usually are not learnt at

polytechnic.

CHAPTER 6 : CONCLUSION

After undergoing a 20 weeks of industrial training at PERUNDING NFL SDN.

BHD., there are a lot of new knowledge that can be learned and I get to

understand altogether on how this firm plays an important role in industrial

field, especially in Quantity Surveying. Exposure that have been given to me

by PNFL Sdn Bhd staff about the working and technical aspect is a very

meaningful knowledge to me in order to prepare my self before stepping into

the real work environment on the upcoming days. I hope with the implication

of the Industrial Training, there will be no more anomalous feelings when the

students started working after they have finished their course later. The staff

at PNFL SDN. BHD. Are very helpful. They gave me a lot of exposure on the

terms of reference and procedures related to the process of preparing tender,

contract document, variation order and ect. Other than that, the exposure on

site visit, meeting atmosphere and so on also give a useful knowledge to me.

59

Exposure that were given to me at this firm can provide the picture on a real

life situation, the task and responsibility that would be carried by some people

on the field.

Lastly, students involvement in industrial training like this can prove and

further strengthen student's identity in undergoing training in technical field, in

the same time making Politeknik as practical platform of education. Apart

from that, the format report that needs to be done by students after

undergoing industrial training also can train each of the student in preparing a

technical report that is complete, compact and in a right order that can be

made as an important knowledge when they face a real situation later. This is

fit with the Polytechnic objective that is to produce a workforce that are high

in quality and partially professional in this country.
