INTRODUCTION

 

The Industry Mentor@Kulliyyah is an initiative inspired by the CEO@Faculty Programme (CFP) that was introduced by the Ministry of Education Malaysia since 2015, with the main objective to accelerate industry-academia partnership towards mutually benefitting relationships, growth and well-being. The CEO@Faculty Programme 1.0: Learn from the Pros is a programme where CEOs or top management from corporate sectors, GLCs, MNCs, and government agencies are appointed to be attached to the Universities. Meanwhile, the Industry Mentor@Kulliyyah appoints the top management from various industries to become mentors to the specific departments or kulliyyahs.

Starting from 2023, Department of Higher Education (JPT) encourages each faculty at the university to nominate at least two (2) industry mentors in relevant fields as candidates for CFP that will be attached to the respective Kulliyyah. As such, the nomination of Industry Mentor @ Kulliyyah will automatically also be part of CFP, upon approval from the university. The appointment will be for two (2) years.
