Wawasan Open University has now signed agreements with three companies in an effort to strengthen semiconductor and manufacturing expertise in Penang. For this purpose, WOU has signed agreements with three companies, namely TT Vision Technologies Sdn Bhd, Oppstar Technology Sdn Bhd and Clarion (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
Under this collaboration, WOU will be the main partner in skills development for the three companies, including training 200 technical and engineering professionals with critical skills in line with current needs. This step is achieved by integrating industry perspectives into the curriculum.
