OVERVIEW:
Industrial Training (ITS) is a scheme designed to provide financial assistance to undergraduates or trainees undergoing training at their chosen business organisation.
ITS enables employers to obtain financial assistance to sponsor student(s) from a university, college or training institution for a practical training at their premises. This helps provide them with exposure to real-life work experience and enable them to gain an understanding of the norms and ethics at the workplace, which in turn, will support them in becoming skillful workers in the future.
