THE INTI Education Group has entered into a collaboration with Ricoh Malaysia (Ricoh), which has invested RM800,000 to establish an E-resource centre at INTI University College in Negri Sembilan.
The state-of-the-art centre will provide INTI students with a real-life business environment as well as access to the Ricoh Intellectual Property Proprietary Development Kit Programme for developing embedded and interfacing software applicable to Ricoh’s multi-functional products. This will enable students to customise and develop new applications for various devices.
Under INTI’s E2E (enrolment to employment) strategic initiative, of which Ricoh is a partner, students and staff are exposed to various business and technology solutions. They also get the chance to learn best practices from industry practitioners via the E2E BizTech and Ricoh Tech Talk table discussion series.
“E2E works closely with the industry to develop courses based on market needs,” said Ricoh managing director Lim Eng Weng.
“This gives students a distinctive edge over their peers. The E-resource centre is our way of giving back to society and helping to produce good quality graduates,” Lim added.
“We are committed to ensuring that our students stand out. We do this with our emphasis on career-focused courses and initiatives such as this one with Ricoh, which helps to ensure experiential learning,” said INTI Education Group deputy CEO Graham Doxey.
The E-resource centre is equipped with the latest multi-functional printers, software services, workflow applications, and unrestricted wireless Internet connectivity. All costs for the set-up, maintenance and development of the centre are borne by Ricoh.
Ricoh engineers and interns from INTI will manage and run the centre.
