A discussion session was held between FCSIT/UNIMAS represented by AP Dr Johari Abdullah, and SMA-TEGAS Innovation Hub represented by the manager, Manzoor Hayat Khan, together with Mr Hazwan from SMA, Mr Amirul from SMG (Sarawak media Group), and Mr Ahmad Azwar from SatuCreative. The discussion centred around collaboration between both parties on providing ecosystem and support for Internship (Industrial Training) through Startup Mode. The Faculty of Computer Science and IT, UNIMAS has an ongoing Internship program embedded within the undergraduate program whereby a student has to go through a compulsory 6 months attachment at industry or organization working on ICT related projects. This year, FCSIT introduced a new mode for the internship whereby students are allowed to undergo the internship program through a start-up mode where they have to go through the process of creating an ICT-based start-up up to the point of producing a working product in the market. During this session, 2 groups of students whom currently undergoing the Start-up based Internship presented their ideas to the panel. The first group is led by Khalif Amir Zakry comprises of 6 students, named themselves as Circle Tech and focusing on web based technology and services. The second group is led by Mr Lim Beng Yong comprising of 5 students and focusing on developing Indie Computer Game. Various issues and potential collaboration were discussed during the session and SMA-TEGAS Innovation Hub has agreed to provide mentoring, training and placement at the Innovation Hub for both group and future start up from the faculty.
