Ermm.. I don't want to comment much on this company as it was history to me. The pay is lower if compare to outside as they hire those 2nd class upper candidate. I think now just left few ppls still with this company in my batch. The rest are pursuing better career in some other MNC. I do advise you guys go attend the interview as it can help you practicing your interview skill. It's better than stay at home do nothing right? See what package they offering you and then only think about it. Good luck guys.... smile.gif

I went for the OSK Ops Asc. Programme intv (1st stage), I rmb during d 1st stage, they roughly tell me what will be the operation associate doing and I wasn't tat interested after knowing that there's a 2 yrs bond to OSK and d job is kinda desk bound n can't interact with ppl. Then at the end of the intv, they asked me, If I were offered a CIMB Corporate Financial Executive (can interact with ppl) and this Operation Assc, which would I take? I honestly answered: CIMB.

Surprisingly, they called me again for 2nd intv sweat.gif I didn't go as the 2 yrs bond really turn me off. I really want to know why r u still interested with this Ops Asc. Programme? Don't u think the 2 yrs bond is very scary?

About DKSH, they called me n said I'm successful, hv to go medical checkup on this coming fri. biggrin.gif

Good day everyone,
Just wanted to share about my friends’ experience as DKSH Junior Executive Trainee (Supply Chain Management) a.k.a JET (SCM).

In general,
You will be trained to become junior executive by going through >10 departments, with a period of ~2 weeks per department rotation for the first 6 months. While the remaining 6 months you will be working under assigned Career Coach/Mentor’s department, which is the person that hired you.

During the first 6 months, after every dept. rotation, you are required to submit a 5 pages report and seek for rotated dept. manager and mentor’s review and signature so that you can submit the report to HR (10 dept. means 10 report). For the report, as long as you are writing the correct information according to given SOP and edit according to manager’s demand, there will be no questions from manager or mentor.

For the next 6 months, you will be learning and working as part of the team under mentor’s dept. with some guidance of teammates. But don’t expect to be treated as executives, you will be handling job responsibilities like a supervisor or less.
In reality,
During rotation, you will most probably not be guided by dept. managers or executives as advertised, instead you will have to depend on yourself to seek for “work knowledge & guidance” related to operations from clerks and supervisors. So, your work knowledge on dept. functions will be quite restricted to what clerks and supervisors know and do (which is very limited) unless you form rapport with managers. You also need to have decent communication skills to speak to all level of staffs as you will be constantly interrupting their work. Don’t expect to have special treatment from other staffs, you are nothing for them. Most staffs don’t even know about JET and will see you as intern.

In addition, you don’t really get to choose dept. that you wish to join. The top management will decide your post after you complete your trainee program. By default, you will be joining your mentor’s dept. But there’s exception where if your dept. is under restructuring, you will be shifted based on top management’s demand. You don’t get to choose the placement.
Training that they advertised? Only 1 training received which is excel throughout the program.

In conclusion, it’s not a decent trainee program compared to other MNC in terms of packages and opportunities offered. May be ideal as first job for fresh graduates who is not confident in work field yet. Should treat it as a practice ground for your upcoming ideal job. Check the position’s applicant and you will see that it’s not popular as other program. It should be your last choice should you have numerous offers.

*May edit in future if my friends have new input. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. As a guy who was involved in my previous company's management trainee program development, I can't even think what two weeks would allow for any trainee to get accustomed to the department or function. Pretty short in my opinion. Setting 2 weeks and rotating through 10 departments means that the trainee would not have any experience or chance to contribute hence that is why the department's take on it is lacklustre (it should be a win-win). At the end of the day, if the company wants to really gain out of it, they have to invest the time, effort and executive sponsorship to the program.
