help and explain to me about thing that I didn’t understand. Most of the company
operators is foreign workers and this allowed me to learn the differences between
culture and its relative influence on their perception and behavior.

communication.
I judge my three month spent at Caelygirl as being one of the most interesting,
productive and instructive experience in my life. Although as a student that majoring in
7
marketing, I expect to involve more on marketing related work or task, however much of my
training time were focusing more on operation and production aspect. However this didn’t
effect my excitement and focus on the ongoing training period. On the contrary I am happy to
have been able to take this valuables opportunity to explore and experience new dimension of
work in manufacturing industry which I never experience before. During my placement I had
the practical work experience under professional supervision. Ms. Saidah my mentor treated
me as his real assistant. I was capable to contribute my ideas and insights in her works. At the
same time, she provided me with productive and stimulating learning environment. I try to
apply what I have learned in the lecture class at USM to actual work setting. My English
language skills both spoken and written also were developed. I also able to get a better
understanding about the production process in a factory especially related to garments
manufacturing. From the task and project given by my supervisor and mentor, I able to
understand manufacturing related aspect such as production flow, material flow, production
layout, quality assurance and much more. This training has exposed me to the invaluable
experience that I can't gain from the lecture hall or classroom. Furthermore, the industrial
training is not only the knowledge outside the classroom but it also opens my world view
wider.

the training atmosphere and environment, training task, its process and interaction involved
throughout the whole training period.
Strengths
■ Real Industry Working Environment
The training enables me to experience the real industry workplace
environment and working process under the company integrated business
complex. From the direct involvement I am now able to familiarize and
have the clear idea about the real working world that will enter after my
graduation.
Weaknesses
■ Not Related To Major
I am majoring in marketing, however almost all my training or task were in
production and maintenance field. I don’t have the chance to involve in task
that related to the company marketing and sales. Most of my work is only
focusing on the company internal side but very less on the company external
9
side.
■ Lack of Facility
During my training, my working table is not equipped with computer. To
complete most of my work and task given I have to used computer located at
Human Resource Department, this sometimes disturb my work because
sometime I have to change place if the computer used by other people.
Opportunities
■ Future Career in Garments Industry
Undergoing training at one of the biggest lingerie’s manufacturer and exporter
in the country, have expose me with every aspect of the growing industry.
These valuable experiences have built my interest to maybe build my future
career in garments industry. I maybe cant used this experience to seek job in
other company in the same industry.
Threats
■ Conflict With Coworkers
During the training period I always try to be nice to everyone around me.
However sometime how we behave, interact or communicate may not be liked
or misunderstood by some people. This misunderstanding can create conflict
and affect our training quality. Sometime the conflict are not cause by us, but
10
were trapped between the already exist conflict among the company workers.
To face with this situation I always try to be neutral without defending or be a
part of any side.
■ Exploitation
For some employer practical trainee mean cheap labor. This irresponsible
employer with wrong intension will try to exploit the practical student to
perform works that they don't have to do or related to their training. Beside
employer, coworker also some time may exploit or bullies the trainee to do
their work. However I am glade that my supervisor and coworkers have
treated me with kind and respect.
4.2 Recommendation
11
charge should list and arrange the training task which will be performed by the trainee. A
training schedule also should be made in order to optimize the training period. In arranging
and assigning the training task, the supervisor also should try to fill the training period with
task that significant in developing the trainee knowledge, skills and experience for its future
career.
In overall I am quite satisfied with the School of Management effort in making the
program perform smooth and successfully. However there were some part that has to be
improve, such as the school information and preference channel related to the industrial
training program, which now not quite satisfying. For example I am having some difficulty to
get my supervisor name because the school website which the name list posted cannot be
excess. I also having problem getting confirmation from the school whether they have receive
my interim report.
5.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there ware many thing that I have experience and learned
during the three month of my Industrial Training at Caelygirl (M) Sdn. Bhd. The whole
training period was very interesting, instructive and challenging. Through this training I was
able to gain new insights and more comprehensive understanding about the real industry
12
working condition and practice. The three month placement also has provided me the
opportunities to develop and improve my soft and functional skills. All of this valuable
experience and knowledge that I have gained were not only acquired through the direct
involvement in task given but also through other aspect of the training such as work
observation, interaction with colleagues, superior, and others third party related to the
company. From what I have undergone, I am hundred percent agree that the industrial
training program have achieve its entire primary objective. It’s also the best ways to prepare
student in facing the real working life. As a result of the program now I am more confident to
enter the employment world and build my future career.
