Benefit to Employers/Industry

Cooperative education creates a platform for business, industry, government and community organisations to work together with UNAM to develop a well-equipped future workforce.  Become our partner and contribute to this noble cause.

By according our students an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge into practice, will most likely results in the following:

  • Better opportunity to influence the curricula;
  • Reduced recruitment and training costs;
  • Fresh, innovative and new ideas from our students;
  • Increase your visibility in the community;
  • Foster good relationship with our institutions;
  • Enhanced leadership and professional development to your existing staff through supervising student interns.

You can either offer an internship opportunity or assign a student to work on an industry project.

An industry project is useful in cases where an internship placement is not suitable, or you do not have a supervisor to supervise interns’ full time. Students are then assigned a project, and can either work alone or as a team. These projects should be completed under the supervision of the academic staff. You will then be provided with a progress report, and our students get rewarded with marks/credits, and gain project management skills.
