Student's Evaluation of the Attachment

What was the most valuable experience you had in the workplace attachment?

The diversified work positions and genuine friendship which is the most valuable experience in this workplace attachment. I highly appreciates our colleague zeal for his work and take infinite patience to teach me. As you know, taking care of new colleague requires a great deal of patience. Especially, the workplace attachment in KLPS gives us a chance to handle different company’s activities, such as landscape therapy, low carbon diet, occupational safety and heath and environment general questions contest. I seemed inconceivable that, in 2009 workplace attachment, our colleagues and committee members will accept my personal ideal, and let me to be responsible for executing the creative concept. This is a precious opportunity and experience for us to handle the problems, For instance, how to distribute the resource and manpower among the committee member. How to use the Plan, Do, Check, Act theory to apply in real life situation. The observation on daily work of these building operation through daily work to let us to realize the property management industry development tend.

What was the most difficult part for you in the attachment programme?
I deemed that there are no herculean task in this attachment programme as a result of I was accumulated certain property management work experience during former placement attachment. Notwithstanding, I work with a lot of trustworthy colleagues, as they give me tremendous support, encouragement and guidance.

Which part of the attachment programme did you like most?
It is difficult to say which part of the attachment programme did I like. Since each part is a golden experience for me, such as learning the car park operation in “The Masterpiece”, Youth square and K11 site visit, Annual General Meeting, and volunteer activities etc. In other words, I will not specially mention which part is the most better, but I will say that KLPS workplace attachment give me a deeply impression.

How did your company mentor help you?
A best company mentor’s guidance is the gateway to foster us to success. I’m grateful to my supervisor MK Leung that he had done and share his personal experience to me. He is supporting with me to tough it out when I was facing a tricky problem. Certainly, Janet Lam and Mr. Li are given a valuable opinion and suggestion during the EHS meeting. They give me a chance to think how to be done more better on the job. 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.
