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

Industry Surveys & Questionnaires E.g. WSPOS

Advisory board

Industry events & engagement

Group C

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.

Group B

2025-10-02 02:06:46 UTC

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

Group C

2025-10-02 02:07:53 UTC

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.)

Group C

2025-10-02 02:07:59 UTC

Internship/ projects/ work based learning - feedback more effective

Group B

2025-10-02 02:08:05 UTC

Incentives for industry-academia collaboration that result in higher hiring rates for graduates

Group A

2025-10-02 02:08:47 UTC

Depends on the sectors

internally develop individual course plan to ensure representative of stakeholder engagement
potential to rethink PET curriculum given the advancements in CET curriculum

Daryl

Examine any potential gaps in the feedback loop/mechanisms.

Group C

2025-10-02 02:42:14 UTC

Will MOE consider managing a POLITE system that spans PET to CET?

- importance of integration of data points / quality of data points / feedback.

agility of courses to test vs waiting 3 years for outcome

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.

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

Pei Ling

2025-10-02 02:44:49 UTC

Important to tackle structural and operational issues in order for industry relevance to have successful implementation and achieve intended outcomes

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)
