MPI said that among the collaborative initiatives to be explored included the appointment of an MPI representative as an Industry Advisor to HCUC’s Faculty of Communication and Media (SOCOM), industry input in curriculum design and development, as well as knowledge sharing in media trends, practices and technology.
“Both parties are in the process of refining the content details to be finalised in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony to be held soon,” it said in a statement.
The LOI was signed by MPI chief executive officer Ainol Amriz Ismail and Han Chiang University College Vice-Chancellor Assoc Prof Dr Beh Kok Hooi.
