POLITEKNIK Brunei (PB) yesterday welcomed 730 fresh faced students to its Orientation Week at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Berakas.
In his speech, PB Director cum guest of honour Denis Ho Mun Tai congratulated the successful candidates of the seventh intake.
“I believe that PB will continue to produce young workers to accommodate the need for skilled workers in respective industries in Brunei Darussalam, and this is in line with the PB vision – to be a well-known polytechnic that generates innovative, skilled and marketable graduates,” he said.
He also urged the newbies to pay attention to the PB values, namely integrity, leadership, respect, innovation, collaboration and excellence.
The new intake, particularly those who will be pursuing Diploma courses (Level 5), was reminded on the need to comply with the attendance requirement of the institution, failing which would result in the failure of a module in the last semester, or affect the chances of obtaining a Diploma certificate in the final year.
This intake will see 21 Level 4 and 5 Diploma courses conducted in three locations.
