DRB-HICOM University of Automotive Malaysia / Nabilla Safarina Norhazirol

My cherished and insightful 6-month industrial training began here at DRB-HICOM University of Automotive Malaysia (DHUAM). The university is based in Pekan Pahang. 6 months of training experience gave me a lot of input to explore real points of view working as a Human Resource practitioner. DHUAM is a university that has two faculties which are the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Business. During the internship I was located at the Human Capital Department which enhanced my knowledge about payroll and recruitment. There are so many tasks I have done in that period of time. For example, I have been given a task where I need to check the staff claims, issue a memo of payment, and a payroll avenue summary report. My daily tasks mostly are related to payroll. Even so, I have also done a few recruitment tasks such as finding candidates for interviews, assisting the new staff on report duty, key in the new staff’s details on the company system, and also doing filing for their personal files. It was such a great experience that I got to learn the process from the beginning. For this report, I have done SWOT analysis with regards to DHUAM. Each SWOT component I provided two points for Strengths (university facilities and strategic area), Weaknesses (number of students and high course fee), Opportunity (scholarships and international border opened) and Threat (competitor has many other courses and competitor has lower course fee). I also recommended four (4) strategies that came out from the SWOT analysis.
