Course Objective

This course is designed to equip participants with the mindset, as well as “just in time” knowledge and skills to excel in any company Induction Programme, while shortening their learning curves. Upon finishing the programme, participants will possess necessary skills, such as operating equipment in product systems, monitoring measuring instruments and equipment, cleaning, maintenance, and minor repair work in production systems. Participants will, consequently, effectively transit to the Chemical, Petrochemical, and Pharmaceutical industries providing a novel work environment significantly varying from their prior work experiences.
