Key Takeway: Industry relevancy vs Actual Relevancy

Concrete: Rethink how to bring in actual industry needs into the curriculum (e.g. SME needs, reconcile back the internship feedback)

# data[].attributes.body
Important to tackle structural and operational issues in order for industry relevance to have successful implementation and achieve intended outcomes

Examine what industry relevance mean for the different domains

Examine how we may “reimagine” PET and CET.

Different mechanisms of industry involvement serves different purposes

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it is a valuable idea to revise the PET curriculum to enable students to take CET courses that are more aligned with industry needs. In addition, I also see potential in designing a more flexible PET programme that allows students to stack modules of their choice, including those from CET, in order to work towards a diploma.

Internship/ projects/ work based learning - feedback more effective

A national recognition programme to attract all companies to contribute in providing feedback to IHLs’ curriculum. Companies will be allocated to various feedback channels/committees. (Currently, companies are selected based on individual network, so feedback is sporadic.)

Extended internship or part-time opportunities for students to develop and strengthen their soft skills

# data[].attributes.body
Mechanisms work, but there is a lack of connection between the various areas

Synthesizing with relevant framework - customised according to needs of diploma

Small sample size, lack of diverse data points that are representative of real issues

Whose responsibility? Acad DD? CC? Currently, more dependent on person in the position.

Internship: liasion officer gets direct feedback from the company, easy and faster, least effort

# data[].attributes.body
Bilateral: brings in relevant projects, curriculum, industry attachment for students/staff, more informal feedback

Sector-specific: adhoc and move fast, only relevant to sector, time-specific (e.g green skills committee), identify key trends for moving area

Advisory Committees: feedback on relevant skills, bring how practical the curriculum is relevant to the ground

Sector Coordinator Teams: avoid duplicate work at POLITE level, not over supply

Others: internship high relevancy OJT

For each of the various mechanisms for IHLs to get industry feedback (refer to handout), in your experience,

i.What works or does not work?

ii.What are the key factors for success?

iii.Where are the gaps?

Are there other mechanisms or channels not listed? Are there others that should be considered?
