TOTAL SYSTEM CAPABILITY

During FY 2007, ITE intensified the capability development of staff to respond to the fast-evolving technology and business environment, through a new Total System Capability initiative. The aim is to enhance the professional capabilities of staff in current and new areas, and integrate them across disciplines. The target is for 75% of academic staff to have the professional capability to "Do" or "Lead" in industry projects or consultancy work by 2012. One example of a consultancy project undertaken by staff in FY 2007 was the setting up of an Overseas Training & Test Centre at Dalian, China, to provide training in Electrical Installation, Rotating Equipment Fitting and Process Pipe Fitting to Chinese workers for Rotary Engineering Ltd under its Global Workforce Programme.
