AS part of its ongoing effort to equip students with real-world experience and future ready skills, Taylor’s University recently launched the Empowering Leaders into Industry for Tourism & Events (ELITE) programme at its Lakeside Campus.

Aimed at equipping future professionals for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) industry with the necessary skills to succeed in the industry, the ELITE programme was launched together with the Malaysian Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (MACEOS).
