BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

















                    The  School  of  Hard  Knocks  (SoHK)  is  an  initiative  by  the  Centre  for  University-Industry
                    Collaboration (CUIC), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Sintok, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia.
                    SoHK aims to create a novel avenue for collaboration between UUM and the industry for
                    upskilling and reshaping the paradigms of UUM students for the new world. It provides a
                    platform for UUM students to actively engage with the industry as early as Semester 4, giving
                    them the opportunity to secure their practicum placement.


                    SoHK’s principal efforts include training UUM students with industry-specific skills by industry
                    experts,  reinforcing  UUM  students’  existing  knowledge  gained  from  accredited  academic
                    programmes in UUM, assisting the industry in strengthening their talent pipeline on the UUM
                    campus,  and  producing  resilient  future  workforce  ready  for  fronting  the  next  normal.
                    Ultimately, SoHK will support the graduate employability agenda by UUM and the Ministry of
                    Higher Education Malaysia.
