摘要
The purposefulness of this research is to identify the university-industry (U-I) activities and linkages that enhance student skills and employability. Gleaned from Pakistan, data were collected and analyzed from 405 students and faculty members, from the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology and employees from pesticide companies. The Mann Whitney U-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test help identify crucial U-I activities and linkages that enhance student skills and employability. The results show that internships and particularly international ones, along with stipends are most pertinent, especially in developing countries. Also important are joint projects, along with industrial involvement in curriculum development. Despite its qualifications, the research contribution is significant, as a few studies conducted in Pakistan can truly help policymakers in the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.
