Our Governance System and Structure

You need to be people development career driven, innovative, creative, goal oriented, ethical and self-principled professional to serve as a member of any governing body or even to work at NIT.

Preparing students with career specific driven vocational, technical and professional 21st century skills which are required for the current and the future of work requires a resilient, innovative, creative, oriented, ethical, principled and well governed institutional governance and leadership system.

Industry 4.0 requires suitably developed and resilient graduates to handle the eminent multi tasks which cannot be done by AI and automation especially during the rapidly evolving environment which is highly driven by series of emerging and converging exponential technologies.

The shareholders of NIT expect students to be adequately equipped with the 21st century skills in order to function in a work environment that is ever changing; they need to learn to be resilient, dependable and reliable, to take initiatives and decisions, and to competently work well with their fellow employees and to co-exist with and manage the emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems.

Since we teach our students to exercise integrity and good judgment (maintain and demonstrate confidentiality, loyalty, and honesty), to negotiate to resolve conflicts, and to respect and comply with organizational policies and procedures, NIT’s shareholders expect the Board of Directors, Management, Staff team and all the esteemed members of our respective governing boards, committees and sub-committees to lead and teach students by good and ethical practical example (Lankard 1987).

We also expect and urge every the new member of NIT, (whether you are just joining the team as an employee or as a member of our governing bodies) to first re-examine your own personal cultures, values and ethics to ensure that you will perfectly conform with those of NIT and not cause conflicts before taking any application steps or acceptance of our offer.

Equally, the NIT shareholders expect all the NIT students to always exhibit high levels of self-discipline and preparedness to be developed to serve the industry with strong ethical values, innovation and creativity, resilience, hard work, work ready skills and competencies. As asserted by Lankard (1987) these are the set of the essential attitudes and behaviors which include punctuality, honesty, dependability, taking pride in one’s work that have traditionally been expected of employees by the industry. Work ethics, according to Miller and Coady (1986), refers to the “beliefs, values, and principles that guide the way individuals interpret and act upon their job rights and responsibilities within the work context at any given time”.
