EWYL has been implemented, envisioning the brighter future of the students,  making them skillable and more employable by the time they graduate from the university.  This unique opportunity to acquire work experience while learning is extremely important which provides a conducive environment for the students to acquire and strengthen the required skills, by applying what they learn during their course of study and facilitates the preparedness to find a successful career. The earnings students make can provide an added motivation for learning and successfully completing their academic programmes.
