    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.”
