Industry Partnership & Career Development

If you want to be successful, It’s just this simple, know what you are doing, Love what you are doing, And believe in what you are doing.
-Will Rogers-

About

Industry Partnership and Career Development Unit has two separate duties but functions as one in view of developing resources for graduate development. Industry Partnership provides the resources to enable authentic learning by embedding students with the industry as part of their experiential learning. Career Development delves into the myriad of essential skills that are required by employers. Essentially, we agree to the mantra “you are hired because of your degree, but you are appreciated and promoted because of your essential skills.”

Industry Partnership

Industry Partnership seeks advice from the Industry Partners to chart the University direction, aligning to the industry needs and demands in order to produce high quality, sought after graduates.
We work closely with industry partners to find innovative solutions to challenges and to bring the real world into the classroom. The Unit’s main objectives are to create mutually beneficial collaborations that will drive sustainable engagement between the university and industrial stakeholders to enrich the three key domains of the University: research, education and healthcare.
