The one-month workplace experience was truly incredible, and I’m deeply grateful for such a rare and valuable opportunity. In addition to learning how to collaborate effectively with a team, I also acquired a range of practical skills. The entire journey was both fulfilling and challenging, leaving me excited about what lies ahead in my future development. I had the chance to be involved in various types of tasks, which significantly enhanced my hands-on experience. I became more proficient in using Excel to organize and analyze data, and I also learned to use Visio to create organizational charts, improving my ability to visualize information. What excited me the most was my first attempt at using VBA to write automation scripts. I helped the team build an employee cost system—an extremely practical and challenging task that taught me a lot. This experience has not only enriched my skill set but also given me a more comprehensive understanding of the workplace. I look forward to applying what I’ve learned in my future studies and career, continuing to grow and striving toward greater goals.

Through SEED, I had the opportunity to join a workplace experience program and took on advertising design tasks at a membership app company. The UX/UI course introduced me to the concept of Design Thinking, which was incredibly helpful during my WXP experience. I learned to approach design from the user’s perspective, and when creating promotional ads, I focused more on how to attract target users and making my designs more practical and relevant to real-world needs.

This workplace experience has redefined what 'IT in a company' means to me and I will definitely explore more along this direction as a career.

I have enjoyed very much along the progress, and I am now more confident in working as a team to accomplish a common goal.

From the Business Etiquette Workshop prior to the Workplace Experience, I got to learn more about the recruitment process of a company, useful interview skills and business etiquette in the workplace. These foundational skills are invaluable to me no matter what kind of jobs I will be pursuing in the future.
