KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 – DXC Technology today donated 50 laptops to students of the Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), as part of an ongoing commitment to supporting digital inclusion in education. The handover ceremony, held at Menara Razak, UTM Kuala Lumpur, highlighted the vital role of industry support in enhancing student access to digital tools and advancing future-ready graduates.

The event was attended by UTM Vice Chancellor, Professor Dr. Mohd Shafry Mohd Rahim; DXC Malaysia Japan Asia Hub Leader, Asha Abu Samah; Dean of MJIIT, Assoc. Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Nurulakmar Abu Husain and representatives from DXC Technology. Their presence highlighted the strength of collaboration between academia and industry in creating meaningful educational opportunities for students.

This initiative is part of DXC Digital Futures, a global corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme led by DXC Technology. The programme aims to expand access to technology while equipping students with the resources and knowledge needed to increase in the digital economy. By collaborating with universities and institutions worldwide, DXC Digital Futures enables students to benefit from both essential tools and exposure to industry-relevant experiences.

The partnership between DXC Technology and MJIIT-UTM began in 2022 and was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in December 2023. The collaboration supports student development through internship placements, industrial visits, and engagement sessions with professionals from the industry. It also includes curriculum enhancement initiatives through DXC’s involvement in the Industrial Advisory Panel, which helps ensure that academic programmes remain aligned with current industry trends and expectations.

The DXC Digital Futures initiative demonstrates how strategic partnerships can enhance student learning and contribute to the development of a digitally skilled and resilient future workforce. Through initiatives like this, DXC Technology and UTM continue to pave the way for impactful, inclusive, and sustainable educational experiences.
