Rabia Ali Muhammad, an educationist, writes about the pressing need for educational partnerships between businesses, especially IT companies, and academic institutions in Pakistan.

"Students must build on relevant skills beyond the confines of classrooms and curricula." - Corrine Ong, Singapore Management University. The latest Times Higher Education article focuses on how learning opportunities stemming from collaborations with stakeholders, such as internships, provide opportunities for students to build in-demand skills. Universities can harness collaborations with higher education stakeholders and alumni engagement to maximise graduate success. ⬇ 🔸 By partnering with universities and industry leaders, we create tailored internship experiences that allow students to learn experientially, in real-world settings. These experiences not only enhance students' practical skills but also cultivate essential skills like adaptability, cultural competence, and communication. 🔸 We foster alumni engagement by connecting former interns with current students, creating a supportive network for knowledge exchange, cultural advice and career guidance. This collaborative ecosystem benefits students and also strengthens ties between academia and industry, ensuring graduates are well-prepped for the challenges of the global workforce. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e37JSdn8
