The MoU reflects INTI’s efforts to prepare students for the workplace while also supporting working professionals and their families in advancing their education, whether through academic programmes or flexible upskilling opportunities.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Dr. Chong Kok Wai, Chief Executive Officer of INTI International University & Colleges, said: “By working with Midea Scott & English Electronics, we are creating opportunities that benefit both students and working professionals. For students, it means exposure to industry practices and insights that bring classroom learning to life.
