Through its capstone Industry Experience Project (IEP) course (CS400) in the BNS and BSE programmes, STEMP has successfully partnered with several leading industries in the ICT sector in Fiji and the region. These industries played a critical role in provision and joint supervision (with USP) of ICT projects for our BNS and BSE students, giving students invaluable project experience, development of skills relevant in the industry in the current time, knowledge of industry standard tools and techniques and professional mentorship. Some notable industries that STEMP has partnered with are:
- Telecom Fiji Ltd
- Datec
- Vodafone Fiji Ltd
- Software Factory Ltd
- Fiji National Provident Fund
- Fiji Sugar Corporation
- Westpac Banking Corporation
- ANZ Bank
- Fiji Rugby Union
- Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS)
- Vivid Pacific
- USP
- Digicel Fiji Ltd
- Tertiary Scholarship and Loans Scheme (TSLS)
- Paradise Beverages
The types of projects conducted through these industry collaborations have spanned in areas such as design and development of software systems solving real word cases, installation and configurations of networks and security mechanisms, dashboard design and data analytics and disaster recovery plans and systems. Many of the completed projects from students have been implemented within the organizations. One recent successful project completed by one of our 2023 IEP teams for TSLS called the Employer Connect Portal was even officially launched by Fiji’s Hon. Minister for Employment, Productivity & Industrial Relations on 15th of December 2023. Such outputs from the IEP programme are a testament to the strong and successful industry collaboration STEMP has with ICT industries in Fiji and the region.
