SEC 3 INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT

STUDENTS BRIEFING

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT (IA)?

⚫A work-based experience programme

providing real-life working experience for

you

⚫It can range from 1 to 2 weeks depending

on the company

WHAT IT IS NOT?

• NOT A PART-TIME JOB

• YOU ARE NOT PAID

• IT IS NOT A “TRY AND SEE IF I LIKE IT”

EXPERIENCE

YOU MUST BE COMMITTED AND

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT

ZONE.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE UP INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT (IA)?

• Allow you to pick up life-skills (e.g.

communication skills, interpersonal skills,

teamwork, etc.)

• Broaden your perspective about the working

world and gain practical experience in the working

environment

• Provide opportunities for you to explore your

areas of interests

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AND BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO

⚫Learn new skills to enhance future

employment opportunities

⚫Give you an edge on your competition in

future application processes.

⚫Build your portfolio and give you real

accomplishment stories for your resume

and online profiles

ENTER INTO A WORLD OF WORK

⚫Get real life experience and learn the day-to-day

experience of working in your field

⚫Experience first-hand what it’s like to work in an

office, interact with supervisors and co-workers,

and handle customers or clients

⚫You get to talk to supervisors, colleagues who

have been in the industry and understand why

they love their job or challenges they face

DECIDE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH

• Give you valuable insight into whether or not

the industry/ role is the right choice for you

• You may realize YES this is what I want to

do, or NO!! It’s different from what I have

envisioned

• It’s best to know as early as possible, and a

job attachment may help you do that
