Internship Preparation Workshop

Over the past several years, the use of internship programme as part of the recruitment process has increased tremendously. Employers report that interns are the best source of new full-time employees, according to recent NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) surveys. However, how to create an effective internship in the field of your choice and reap the unlimited benefits that come with firsthand experiences? In response to this challenge, SPE-UTP-SC proudly presents you the Internship Preparation Workshop – your first step towards your professional career.
In general, the Internship Preparation Workshop is divided into two parts:



Part 1 – General Internship Process & Résumé writing Workshop
I am sure you have heard the expression "First impressions are lasting ones". Want to make your résumé stands out from the competition?  Learn how to market your skills and experiences effectively on paper so you would be able to stand out above the rest.  This Résumé Writing Workshop covers the basic components of a résumé, formatting strategies and emphasizes the importance of tailoring your résumé to a particular position. Next, a presentation on the general internship process will expose you to details on the general internship process which requires proper planning and a significant amount of effort. This session will be led by the Career Advisor, Mr. Nor Idham Che Ghani. He currently heads the Counselling and Career Guidance Division at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS and has more than 10 years of experience as a Career Counselor.

Part 2 : Internship Sharing Forum

Most of us have the misled perception on the oil and gas industry – we always assume that the oil and gas industry is meant for those with an engineering degree or related areas such as geology only. In fact, the energy sector has a broad range of opportunities open to young people across many sectors: oil, gas, biomass, new energies, and oil related industries. The needs for new skills and talents over the coming years and the opportunities in the energy sector are huge. In this forum, a few experienced interns who managed to secure their internships in different companies, from overseas or local will be invited to share their insights. The interns are from both technical and non-technical backgrounds. They are also invited to answer the queries and doubts of students regarding their internship placements.
