We lived in an era where technology is advancing at unprecedented rate. In just ten years, we can see the evolution of phones from flip phone to touch screen phone, also in the time of pandemic, the online learning and work from home things have become a trending. Thus, graphic design and editing skill seems to be a potential skills set to be acquired at the time. Next, I am going to have my internship next year and eventually I will graduate later. Therefore, I joined this program to learn and gain some experience to get myself prepare for employment and also to catch up with the generation.
By joining this program, my thinking skills and communication skills have been enhanced as there is a lot of activities that required higher order thinking skill. For example, the game of engineering, identity test, create professional cv and interview session. As this program was more focus on preparing graduates for employment thus the activities held were more focus the two graduate attributes mentioned just now which were thinking skills and communication skills. However, as I was the head of multimedia department thus my leadership and teamworking skills were developing as well.

On the first day there was an opening ceremony and ice breaking session for participants to have an overview of this program and have some understanding towards the facilitators, committees and speakers. Then, there was a talk entitled "In a time of pandemic" where we have our speaker who is Dr. Lim Chee Han who is a senior researcher and having a PHD in infection biology from Hannover Medical School, Germany. Afterwards, there was a video competition task given where participants have to do a short video regarding to the pandemic and submit to committee in charge. On the next day, we have alumni sharing and a sharing session on how to make professional resume. The second day was ended with the game of engineering.
