Description
Summary:This report describes and explains my journey of internship training at PPAP within 5 months to fulfil the requirement for Apprenticeship (IMC690). The training started from 1th September 2021 and ended on 31th December 2021 with estimated duration of 5 months. During my practical training, I was able to learn new things in the world of libraries, work culture and values in each department at PPAP. This was my first experience working in a real work environment. It is very different from what I did on the IM244 syllabus while at UiTM Rembau. At first, I found it difficult and challenging to adjust to the new environment and nature of work, but eventually I managed to adapt and continue to learn from the staff and colleagues at PPAP. During the training, I was given the opportunity to give some ideas on a number of things. Still some ideas have been rejected and some have been modified. This experience helped me to improve myself better and gain new knowledge while avoiding repeating the same mistakes. My supervisor was always constructive whenever I made some mistakes and I found that it was quite helpful for me to learn and adapt to the new environment. Other than that, this industry training revealed to me how public libraries operate which is completely different from what is taught in the classroom. In addition, I was able to increase my self -confidence and responsibility for the tasks assigned during the training period. With the experience gained during conducting industrial training at PPAP can be considered as a preparation before starting my career path in the future. In short, I believe that this Internship Program at PPAP gives me a wide range of work experience, work culture and high work values for me to embark on future career paths. By completing the practical training, I believe that the program assists students in adapting and preparing for the real work environment; despite the announcement of MCOs and SOPs given by the government throughout the training session. I also learned that students should prepare themselves better in language proficiency especially in Bahasa Malaysia and English to strengthen oral and written presentation skills.
