Ways to collaborate

Education institutions and training providers

Potential collaboration includes curriculum dialogue, smoother academic and skills pathways, short courses, shared learning materials, joint research and innovation projects. Training and tuition centres can also discuss institutional development support.

Industry and corporate supporters

Employers can discuss workplace exposure, practical training, professional development and input on emerging skills needs. Corporate supporters can explore scholarship funding, subsidised learning, equipment support and education research grants.

Community organisations and individual experts

Community organisations can help identify barriers faced by underserved learners, including lower-income households and persons with disabilities. Individual contributors can discuss sharing expertise, learning resources and support for future activities.

International institutions and alumni

Longer-term proposals include cooperation with international universities and education bodies, wider ASEAN engagement, education tourism and an Alumni Fund.

These are areas for prospective cooperation. Any agreed scope, responsibilities and programme details will depend on discussion with the Secretariat.
