Over 50% jobs for technology professionals will come from non-tech firmsFor parents worried about all this talk of AI and technology disrupting existing careers and extinguishing some, even, Taylor’s University wants you to know that they hear you.

In anticipation, Taylor’s, building on its RM1.2 million Vortex XR Lab , launched last Aug, has introduced two new XR infused programmes, Bachelor of Interactive Spatial Design and Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Digital Construction Management, in response to higher demand for tech talent in the construction and environment industries that need to leverage on XR skills.

“Interactive space has now become a popular marketing tool that businesses use to engage their customers,” said Din Tan Chin Seng, the Programme Director of the Bachelor of Interactive Spatial Design. Like Interactive Spatial Design, the programme introduces two specializations, Green Construction and Smart Construction; the former strives for energy conservation, waste reduction, and recycling, while the latter utilizes technology to improve construction management via IoT, Advanced Building Information Modeling , and XR.Furthermore, these specializations are lined-up with the Construction 4.

Other industry partners include FrameMotion Studio Sdn Bhd, Virtual X Malaysia Sdn Bhd, HONOR Malaysia, and IMT Smart Home Sdn Bhd.Interestingly, the two new programs also offer a third option, technopreneurship, which allows students the opportunity to start their own business with the help of Taylor’s start-up incubator, Bizpod. Thus, students can create their own jobs instead of just being employed.
