INTRODUCTION

Involvement of university students in community service is vital for the positive and lasting effects it has on the community, the student and the university.

Amongst the benefits community service would bring to the student is inculcating on social and relationship skills, increased self-confidence, networking. This will eventually advance the student’s career. Above all community service makes life meaningful and interesting.

For all these reasons IIUM has strong belief that the Community Engagement is very important to be practised by all students and staff.

With the evolvement of Industry 4.0, jobs will change and consequently skills will be transforming as a result of new technologies. In their future of jobs report (2016), World Economic Forum highlighted the top 10 skills required by 2020 as shown in Figure 1.

Exposing the students to challenging activities during their university time is crucial for the development of their skills to prepare them for the future.
