Bridging Education and Industry: TAPiO’s Commitment to Empowering Future Leaders


At TAPiO Management Advisory, we firmly believe that education forms the foundation of innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development. Our recent strategic partnership with MDIS Malaysia International College, formalised through a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), represents a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful collaboration between academia and industry.
This strategic partnership with MDIS Malaysia International College exemplifies TAPiO’s dedication to nurturing young talent and preparing students for successful careers. Through structured internship programmes, mentorship opportunities, and direct engagement with industry professionals, students will gain practical experience and valuable insights that significantly enhance their employability and professional networks.
At TAPiO, internships are more than temporary placements. Under the leadership of our Chairman, Mr Bernhard Schutte and Managing Partner, Mr Thomas Bernthaler, our professional team actively mentors and guides interns, providing them with real-world experience and practical skills. Many of our current team members began their careers as interns at TAPiO, demonstrating our commitment to developing talent and fostering professional growth within our organisation.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our Chairman, Mr Bernhard Schutte, whose visionary leadership has been instrumental in establishing this transformative partnership. Mr Schutte, who also serves as Ambassador to Malaysia for the World Economic Council (WEC) and advises both federal and state governments, continues to play a pivotal role in connecting international investors with opportunities in Malaysia, the gateway to 670 million ASEAN consumers
At TAPiO, integrity, professionalism, and excellence are at the core of everything we do. Our collaboration with MDIS Malaysia and our ongoing internship programmes reflect our unwavering commitment to these values. We strive to inspire trust and confidence among our partners, clients, students, and the broader community, positioning TAPiO as a respected leader in industry-academia collaboration.
We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on students, industry stakeholders, and the wider community. By bridging education and industry, we aim to create lasting value, drive innovation, and contribute meaningfully to Malaysia’s economic and social development. Together, TAPiO and MDIS Malaysia International College are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals.
