We were given a briefing of introduction to biotechnology. More to welcome us into the biotechnology sector, all the trainers feel glad to teach and help us in understanding the biotechnology itself. Since this is the first week and the first month of BeST program, the first module to be taught is Communication module. Maybe some will think that this is a boring topic, but belief me, it is a very useful module in order to improve our communication concepts and skills.
Divided into groups, there are eight members in each group. We were asked to create our own group’s motto and logo. So, every group will have different logo with different motto which reflected the characteristic of the group itself.
During the class, we were taught on how to write a good resume and cover letter which is very important in applying jobs. It helps us to improve our writing skills. Besides, we were also taught by the trainers on business report writing.
Conducting an effective meeting also plays an important role in communication. Every group was asked to discuss a situation given and came out with a mock meeting and the agendas of the meeting.
On the other day, we had an activity where one group had to be a representative and the other group as the consumer or customer. They were asked to make comments and complaints based on the picture shown on the screen. The representative must gave a feedback in a proper way of communication.
For public speaking techniques, selected person were chosen and they have to present whether in a forum, press conference, product presentation, negotiation and debate. Everyone played a different role and talked according to the topic given.
