It also assessed the effects of university-industry collaboration activities on students’ work readiness and employability. The research adopted mixed method approach to data collection. Structured questionnaire survey was used to collect quantitative data from students, and semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data from lecturers and industry representatives.
