SINTOK, 6 April 2017– As part of UMW’s efforts to nurture talent and contribute towards building a dynamic Malaysian workforce, UMW Grantt International Sdn. Bhd. (UMW Grantt) signed two Memorandum of Agreements (MoAs) today with Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), through its School of International Studies (SoIS).
Both the MoAs were signed by UUM Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dato’ Seri Dr. Mohamed Mustafa Ishak and President of UMW’s Manufacturing & Engineering Division, Megat Shahrul Azmir. UMW Grantt, the producer of a full-range of lubricants with international standards, will be sponsoring one of UUM’s students’ residence hall, better known as Inapan Siswa (INASIS) for a duration of 10 years. This INASIS will be rebranded as INASIS GRANTT starting today.
The second MoA signed between UMW Grantt and UUM is a 3-year sponsorship through SoIS for research opportunities and funding of students’ activities. SoIS students and residents of INASIS GRANTT will have the opportunity to garner industry experience through future activities in collaboration with UMW Grantt. UMW Grantt also handed over the certificate of appointment as the official distributor of Grantt lubricants in UUM to Uniutama Property Sdn. Bhd.
UUM, through SoIS, had previously worked with UMW in the industry lecture programme in April 2016 and the collaboration has now been further strengthened by the signing of the MoAs. “This collaboration is a very meaningful effort not just for our business, but also for UUM’s management to instil entrepreneurial spirit in students and advance the innovation agenda for the benefit of all,” said Megat Shahrul Azmir before signing the MoAs.
