Abstract

Universities strive to identify and develop students’ potential and talent in order to enhance their competitiveness in the job market. Talent development and Industry – University Collaborations are essential in both identifying and developing students’ potential to benefit all stakeholders namely, students, universities, companies and the industry as a whole as well as public, professional bodies and government agencies. Student outcome must impact on companies’ performance. Hence, objectives should include the narrowing of the Outcome – Impact Gap (OIG) by ensuring students are exposed to the latest technology and skills currently required by the industry. Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has embarked on many initiatives that have indeed narrowed OIG. It has also achieved Stage 6 of the Stages of Collaborations discussed in this paper for a number of collaborations with companies in the various Industries.
