Industrial training report: Ernst & Young Consulting / Muhammad Amirul Azlin

The EY Malaysia industrial experience from August 5, 2024 to January 17, 2025 formed the subject of my industrial training report. I collaborated with the Talent Development Team of Learning & Development where I spent my time. As an intern at EY I received firsthand exposure to corporate training coordination and event management approaches alongside the professional initiatives characteristic of businesses today. I learned about EY's complete business structure during my first week but not until now did I see any training programs or client-oriented initiatives which connect EY to its clients. As a BTS leader I contributed to Business Tax School which delivered tiered training development modules for various professional levels in tax. My responsibility involved leading participant administration and developing training resources together with coordinating a seamless training delivery platform. For BTS 1 & 2 gateway tax programs targeting associates along with BTS 5 for senior 3 personnel I helped conduct training and learn which methods were most effective at preparing EY's advanced professionals for their career advancement. The responsibilities at this position have tightened my problem-solving skills and organizational capability while showing me the natural advancement paths within corporate careers.

Two long-term limitations exist within EY Malaysia which stem from high employee turnover and heavy reliance on major clients. The opportunities for EY lie in strategic partnerships alongside existing threats that emerge from strong competition with other Big Four firms and currency market movements. EY faces two major threats in its market due to its intense competition with the Big Four firms and currency fluctuations.
