Injex Faculty Development Programme

An Overview

In today’s rapidly changing world, the gap between industry practices and institutional teaching is widening at an alarming rate. If not addressed, this growing divide will undermine institutions & ability to prepare students for successful careers in the future. This issue cannot be resolved through occasional guest lectures or industry workshops alone. Instead, it calls for a strategic approach—one that enables institutions to create a dedicated Industry Orientation Department. This department would provide faculty with real-world experience while keeping them current with industry trends through continuous Industry Connect.

A. Empowering Educators for Industry-Relevant Education

Welcome to the Faculty Development Programme (FDP), specifically designed to equip educators with the latest industry insights, best practices, and practical tools. The goal is to empower faculty members to bring real-world knowledge into the classroom. This programme is ideal for institutions aiming to enhance their reputation, improve employability outcomes, and deliver industry-driven learning experiences.

How does this work?

           Through the FDP, faculty members will undergo comprehensive training on industry practices, access real-world case studies, use interactive simulation tools, and build valuable industry relationships. These resources will directly benefit both their teaching and student
placements.


             Participants will not only gain new skills but will also be prepared to engage students with real-world challenges, ensuring that graduates are ready to face the professional world. Continuous support, updates, and partnership-driven incentives will position your institution as a leader in industry-oriented education.
