GUIDELINE INDUSTRY PARTNER - Jabatan Pengajian Politeknik

INTRODUCTION
The industrial training course has played an important role in providing polytechnic
students with opportunities for hands-on experience. It has also provided insights into
real-life work experience in the industry to ensure the students are adequately prepared
when entering the job market.
The duration of each training session is one semester, that is, approximately 22 weeks.
Students are required to undergo industrial training in their field of studies with
participating organisations. During the industrial training, the students are guided by
personnel appointed by the organisations.
The Industrial Liaison & Training Unit (UPLI) is responsible for managing students’
industrial training affairs. Students will be attached to a particular organisation during
their training period based on their respective fields of study.
The placement process is finalized before commencement of training. Students are
constantly advised to maintain a high level of discipline. They should abide by the rules
and regulations of both the polytechnics and organisations concerned. Organisations are
advised to consult the polytechnic immediately if there are any disciplinary problems.
Students should be given the chance to try various tasks and develop skills that will make
them more attractive to prospective employers, but they should not be relied upon to
take on roles meant for full-time staff.
At the end of their placement, it is hoped that both parties could benefit from the
programme.
