The Relationship Between Industrial Needs for Manufacturing Technology Certificate Program and Graduate

Need Analysis, Program Content, Manufacturing Technology.

Abstract

Manufacturing industries observed SMN industrial training student and graduate while they were in the industries. By the observation, KKKB gradual study was conducted based on industries respond reflected issues on program content, industry preference for the program graduate and further study suitability, and also industry perspective towards the program. By circulated Google Form, there are 30 responded questionnaires collected from the industries. The sum of the questionnaire score determines the IN score value.  Later, the resulted data analysed by Preliminary Analysis, Regression Analysis, and Pearson Correlation. This correlates the input parameters and the IN score. These analyses used to measure the effect and relationship between the data inputs and output. Through these analyses, the result suggests that many of the student and graduate are preferred to work in Metal-based Manufacturing Industries in medium size companies. Besides, the industries have few vacancies and rated RM1301-RM1600 as basic salary for the graduate. Furthermore, program content, program graduate preferred by the industry and suitable for further study is positively related towards IN score, and also reasonable relation is found between Industrial Perspective and IN score.
