Industrial training is a requirement for my Finance program at Faculty of Business and Administration in Universiti Teknologi MARA. I have completed my 24 weeks/6 months long internship program at OCBC Bank Malaysia Berhad. All the time I spend at my company is very valuable as the experiences I get will help to have better chance to join the industry after I graduate. This report will include all of the tasks and assignments that I have completed. I was assigned into Trade Finance Department during the internship which has help me a lot as I was able to gain new knowledges and also enhance my skills in the company. Throughout my work during the internship I was able to learn on the general knowledge of trade finance and how the banking system operates. I was also exposes with the career path by the top management as they share their experiences on the industry. I also able to learn new skills such as data analysis and risk management which, before this I have very little knowledge of at the place. From my observation the company has a very efficient standard operating procedure (SOP) and is highly adaptable to situation. For example during the implementation of the MCO the department is very fast in getting all the necessary documents needed for the workers. I also able to enhance my soft skills as the company have sharing session where the interns need to speak and communicate with the speakers and the top management. The internship also give me professional experiences on the culture and also the environment of the banking industry. Overall my experiences for the internship are very pleasant as I have a very supportive and caring supervisor and also friendly colleagues. It is my honor to recommend for future undergraduates to apply for the internship at OCBC Bank Malaysia Berhad.
