Notwithstanding, I work with a lot of trustworthy colleagues, as they give me tremendous support, encouragement and guidance.

Bennie Chan is teaching me a lot of information technology skill and Christine Yu is caring our four trainee very patient.
What advice would you give to students who will participate in the attachment scheme in the future?The difference between placement attachment and long-term laborer is that placement attachment provide us a diversity work position and learning opportunity. A man would do nothing, if he waited until he could do it so well that no one would find fault with what he has done (John Henry Newman). Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly (Robert F. Kennedy). Trainee should learn how to issue your personal comment actively with using your common sense. “Take a risk, Be Success” Terry Lam say that. If the trainee has an aversion to risk, there are no one will give you a chance to try a new mission. However, it does not preach they should take a risk blindly. Before do anything, they should consider the following factors, such as team spirit, interpersonal relationship and responsibility, and take an “Acceptable Risk”. A successful and meaningful attachment consist in personal attitude and vision.
Please give overall comments on the workplace attachment (e.g. How could it be improved? Which parts of the programme should be retained? etc.)College can hold an orientation to trainee before they are working on their company, such as career development, training course, general workplace attitude guidance in order to assist trainee to recognize their career interest and aptitude. Alternatively, it should be toughening up their partnership and work close collaboration with Private Company, Association and Government Department to reinforce the outcome of competition and technological advance.
