Building Productive Industry – University Collaboration Consultation

Details

The forum, jointly hosted by the Office of the Chief Scientists and AIIA will aim to:

• Develop a shared understanding of what it means for a graduate to be industry-prepared.

• Provide universities with a better insight into the types of graduates that companies are seeking to employ, and the abilities and expertise that they currently require and anticipate requiring in the near future.
• Improve awareness by industry of the way universities develop ICT curricula, and understanding of how they can get involved.
• Develop a national framework that makes it easy for industry to work with universities:
  a. to achieve industry-prepared graduates; and,
  b. for building fruitful industry-university collaboration in ICT and related fields.
• Create a community to have a focussed and meaningful conversation—understanding each other’s drivers and how they can help one another.
