EXPERIENCE

During the time almost four months of practical training at space & function, i have accumulated various experience and wider new knowledge through activities and tasks had been assigned to me. Ihavelearntthatthemostimportantthinginrunninga consultant or a company that provide service for clients are trust and loyalty. I also learn many things that involve in designing landscape. This company also give the opportunity to me to handle the printing machine, it is simple but i am really appreciated it because it gave me an experience to use all the equipment in order to produce the drawing i feel like this four months for this practical training is found to be extremely short. Practical training is necessary so that students can be exposed into the working world and tastes of what it feels like to do adult tasks. It is also another way to apply all knowledge and skills that i learned before at college. However the working time frame of just 4 months does not provide enough coverage to learn everything that i want to know there.Itmakesmewantingmorethanwhatiget.

THANKYOU !
