A 6-month pleasant experience that left a remarkable impact on me began here at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) in Seri Iskandar, where this place is a whole game-changer to make myself expose and ready in working industry phase. The objective of this industrial training report is to present what I have learned throughout these 24 weeks and the process of how I get out of my comfort zone by completing the task given during training so that I will be ready to face the reality of the working industry in the future. I was assigned to the Centre for Student Development division for whole 6 months. From my observation during my six months of training, I can say that I did not see any flaws in this organization as UTP has a strong management system that they take seriously for everyone involved in the organization, no matter what positions they are. During the internship, I undertook and completed a thesis as part of my academic requirements. Despite gaining knowledge about working in an office scenario, I also managed to polish my soft skill, communication skills by engaging with customers, data analysis skills by mastering new skills in excel, and a lot of things that bring benefit to myself throughout this training period. I am also feeling grateful to be surrounded by kind-hearted colleagues and well-experienced supervisors to guide me from day 1 until I finish my training period full of knowledge and skills that I can apply for the next phase of my life.
