The "Headstart" programme with Dynamik Technologies
A partnership for promoting knowledge transfer of technology and innovation
On 3rd July, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed to build a platform for collaboration and partnership at the UBD Business Library.
The hope is to build from each others’ strengths advancement in the aspects of academic, research and technology, including human capacity building through training and internship programmes.
The signing was officiated by the Minister of Education and UBD Council Chair Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah binti Haji Mohd Salleh.
We are so pleased to have our School of Digital Science (SDS) undergraduate students Abdul Haziq Iman bin Haji A Mirasin and Abdul Qaiyum bin Haji Muhammad signing contracts as the second batch under the ‘Headstart’ apprenticeship programme. They will be trained and certified in network administration and database administration.
From the first batch, we had SDS undergraduate Nadeeya Norjemee and Radin Mas Halimahtul Amyza binti Radin Mas Emran, who “have achieved the SAP Certified Development Specialist in Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP), qualifying them to be a part of an international workforce of SAP certified professionals.“ - (excerpt taken from Borneo Bulletin)
According to them, they have gain invaluable knowledge observing how different teams work together and understanding important leadership skills from their supervisors such as active listening and problem solving.
The Headstart “programme has been tailored for any “second-year Bachelor of Digital Science students to earn 16 modular credits by completing various courses under the ‘Headstart’ programme where they will receive practical training, on-the-job experience, and a monthly stipend while pursuing their Bachelor of Digital Science”. - Prof Liyanage, SDS, UBD (excerpt taken from Borneo Bulletin)
