Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) / Nurul Fatihah Ali

The internship program is compulsory and serves as a requirement that need to be participated by all bachelor’s students before completing their study. This program qualifies them to have real - work experience in various industries, enabling them to acquire valuable knowledge and skills related to courses they have studied. In Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), the duration of the internship usually lasts to 3 - 6 months depending on the faculties requirements. The other requirements that the students also need to accomplish while proceeding the internship program are writing a report and doing a presentation a week before the internship ends. In this report, it presents my overall memorable and enlightening 6 months journey at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) as an internship student. Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) is one of the public universities in Malaysia which offers a diverse range of academic programmes, including diplomas and bachelor's degrees in industrial and manufacturing technology, engineering technology, and engineering. For this time, the period of internship started on 12 August 2024 until 24 January 2025, in a total of 24 weeks. My internship placement was at the Talent Development department under the Succession Planning unit. This department gives me a good opportunity to put my knowledge and skills into practice to the reality of the working environment as I have learnt it in my previous semester. In this report, we will go through my student’s profile which states my latest updated resume after obtaining some inputs from my Talent Development department.
