The Institutional Linkages and Networking Office (ILNO)
initiates, develops, and sustains partnerships that create opportunities for the growth and
internationalization of both employees and students.
ILNO operates under the Office of the Vice President for Research, Extension, and Linkages (VPREL),
which is mandated to identify and explore partnership opportunities with local and international entities.
Key Areas of Engagement
-
Linkages with higher education institutions (HEIs), research organizations,
industries, and funding agencies at the local, regional, national, and international levels.
-
Faculty and Student Exchange and Training Programs including on-the-job training
and job placement with industry partners.
-
Collaborative Research Activities with HEIs, industries, government agencies,
and research organizations.
-
Partnerships with Funding Agencies for research grant projects, as well as with
government and NGOs for community development initiatives.
These initiatives are organized into two strategic areas aimed at advancing the internationalization of
SDCA education:

Institutional Level focuses on sustainable linkage programs with relevant industries,
professional groups, and organizations that support the professional development programs of SDCA.
-
Program-Based Level focuses on industry partnerships and networking that support
specific academic degree programs of SDCA.
