Congratulations to Ario Lau, our first graduate engineer trainee who has completed a 2-year comprehensive Scheme A programme with Commtech Asia (formerly known as Sygna).
Commtech Asia was approved by The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers in 2021 to offer Scheme A training for our young professional engineers. This two-year comprehensive training aims to develop and nurture graduates in achieving the goal of becoming an engineer, and today, we are happy to have a quick chat with Ario to share his journey with us.

Time management was my biggest challenge. I had to carefully plan and prioritize my tasks, so that I was able to fulfill work responsibilities, such as attending site tests, reviewing method statements, updating trackers, etc., as well as the demands of my Scheme A Graduate Training program.

My first data hall project was definitely one of the most memorable projects so far. It was a fast-paced project that helped me gain an insight into the work process at Commtech Asia. Despite being new, I felt supported by my colleagues who were willing to teach me and help me gain a better understanding of the systems involved.

Commtech Asia resource library has provided me with the tools and information needed to learn and grow both professionally and personally. Having access to a resource library containing journals, standards, and guides has been instrumental in facilitating my learning and growth. The standards and guides provided me with guidelines on best practices, whereas the journals kept me up to date with the latest research and development in our industry.
