Effectiveness of the Industry Expert Enrichment Program (IEEP) at LIMA 2025: An Experiential Learning Study of PolyCC Malaysia Students

Abstract

This paper is an assessment of the effectiveness of Industry Expert Enrichment Program (IEEP) that was carried out in the LIMA at Langkawi 2025, and the study has specifically examined the outcomes of experiential learning among Politeknik and Kolej Komuniti students. The program delivered the students face-to-face interaction with the industry professionals during the program. The study adopted a quantitative research design through a structured questionnaire, which was distributed to the 141 population of students in which 114 viable samples were examined. The questionnaire was used to assess the perceptions of the students based on four important dimensions. The descriptive analysis has indicated that the mean scores of all measured variables are high, and it can be argued that the program participation did play in enhancing the students to obtain knowledge, skills personal and gain access to the industry. Correlation analysis revealed that student satisfaction was significantly positively correlated with variables. Comprehensively, this study exposed two variables which predicted the students’ satisfaction.
