As for the summary, industrial training had been beneficial especially towards the student and company itself. There are many lessons can be learned from the task and project assigned by supervisor to fulfil the requirement of being an internship student. Centre for Environmental Sustainability and Water Security (IPASA) had been very delightful in accepting diploma students in pursuing the journey to finish their program. As for myself, I experienced various knowledge and new material that had been delivered not only from supervisor but also all working staff. This huge professional experience manages to sharpen my soft skills and boost confident in communicating with other people. The most fun part was the idea of having various kind of graduates from international despite their country and ethnicity, I manage to prove better on my communication skills by using English as the first priority language when discussing with mentors. Apart from the skills and knowledge, I experience other opportunity to observe a real working industry and wastewater treatment plant to understand more regarding on what I already learned in environment subjects during my fifth semester of diploma. This visit to multiple sewage plant had widen and brighten my eyes on the real working equipment to treat wastewater before it been disposed back to the environment. All of the experience proves directly on what I already learned and it was a very delight moment to apply my basic diploma knowledge in working life. Not only that, the experiments conducted in IPASA also links with what had been though in university. I manage to get hands on the equipment and understand the methodology and standard procedure correctly. Plus, the mentors introduced me to various scientific notation and principal during conducting the experiments. I believe that in future, this company manage to excel on their vision and mission to be the top among the others in sustain the environment. As for recommendation, I am hoping that would be more upcoming project can be done despite the pandemic COVID-19 that had been the barrier physically for people. The company manages to improve from time to time and develop successful research among the staff and graduates. Through out the industrial training period, it was an easy experience since there are a lot of helping hands willing to share as much possible knowledge they have. But due to some turbulence, ups and downs during the project and Covid had already been the difficulties especially in experiencing both industrial working and work-from-home style of working. To deduce, it was a good learning process and exposure in preparing myself for future as well as to helps build critical thinking skills. As environment are a very important key issue, it should had been taken seriously especially in treating wastewater to sustain environment for the future generations.
