Keeping up with industry needs

ACROSS the world employers seek graduates with the right competencies, as emerging technology breakthroughs affect businesses.

New business models are being formulated and manufacturers are reconfiguring production processes.

Governments and institutions are also being reshaped, as are systems of education, healthcare and transportation, among many others.

At the crux of this great transformation taking place across the world, pressure is rising for the right calibre of human capital to manage the transition businesses have to make in order to stay afloat.

Getting a degree is no guarantee of success at work. Being technology competent is a must but the real demand is for graduates able to respond with speed to market changes. That calls for a creative and innovative mindset.

Boosting career-readiness

Since its inception, Limkokwing University has remained sensitive to industry needs. The university’s graduates’ source of strength lies in their ability to manage workplace challenges.

The ecosystem at Limkokwing University has been carefully designed to nurture the thinking skills as well as the ability of students to take their ideas into final production.

The ecosystem includes off-classroom activities that allow interaction with other disciplines for a cohesive understanding of how the real world functions.

As the reality of the Fourth Industrial Revolution kicks in, Limkokwing University now provides a double-track learning opportunity that allows students to further enhance their skills in preparation for their careers.

The unique requirements of careers often demand further knowledge and skills that forces graduates to take up additional degrees to boost their career performance.

Now at Limkokwing, students will be given the opportunity to select from a wide range of skills that will make them workplace-ready.

For example a web designer can add additional skills in sound engineering or music composition or even choose to do accounting or coding.

It all depends on what their career choices are. With this boost they not only raise their employability levels but widen their choices of careers.

Rewarding third-year students

To encourage students to focus on completing their degrees, the university has decided to waive the fee for the third year of selected undergraduate programmes.
