Press Release
July 9, 2001
THE ideal tertiary education should be one that prepares one for employment.
It should equip the graduate with the ability and skills to apply the knowledge gained to build a successful career
and contribute to his organisation.
At Taylor's College, this preparation is done through various means, one of which is through the TBS Internship
Exchange.
The exchange is a pre and post graduation service for students.
It serves as a stepping stone for aspiring business students to prepare themselves before venturing into the industry
of their choice.
The exchange primarily conducts research and carries out training and consultancy programmes to prepare students
before they venture into their internship programmes.
Its services are completed by the advisers and counsellors in the Career Bridge team.
The team provides assistance on any matter, from writing CVs to counselling.
Last month, TBS launched its internship programme with Tanco Resorts Berhad," at a ceremony attended by the
TRB's managing director Franco Yong, and TBS' chief operating officer Dr Frankie Ow.
The programme involves eight students who will undergo a two-week internship programme this month and another eight
weeks in December/January.
The internship programme is aimed at giving students the conceptual and behavioural skills that will give students
relevant industrial experience by the time they graduate.
'During the ceremony, the eight students also listened to a briefing on the programme from a TRB representative
Jeremy Lee.
During, the session, Lee spoke about TRB, which is TBS' knowledge partner.
He also briefed the students on 'the role they had to play to ensure that they achieved their targets of personal
development and gained industry experience.
Taylor's Business School is the first local college to focus on creative knowledge management in its courses.
This is done from the beginning of the students' tertiary education - when they take up the Taylor's University
Business Foundation course.
The difference between the TUBF programme and other Foundation pro-programmes is that it is will focus on the subjects
the student needs to study in order to proceed into the degree course chosen.
