The SHINE Award Programme helps address the gaps shared by employers. Throughout the programme, I was exposed to several opportunities, which helped me become more self-aware, focused on what I want to achieve, & was constantly reflecting on how to better myself & be ready to welcome new opportunities & challenges.
The best thing about SHINE is that they already have a path laid out for you and all you have to do is follow it through to start seeing changes. Through SHINE, I met so many people through various events and activities. I learned how to communicate better, organize events, leadership, and how to control emotions.
Through the various activities under the SHINE Award Programme, I learnt about (1) myself, (2) how to understand, communicate & lead effectively with others, & (3) how to set goals & achieve them. One of my proudest moment: obtaining the SHINE Platinum Award & first-class honours while maintaining good relationships with my friends & family.
Marissa Ooi: I am especially proud of the soft skills developed through the various activities under the SHINE programme, which I participated in such as workshops, competitions and internships.
Employers share their experiences with our SHINE recipients and the importance of having a well rounded education including personal & professional development, people engagement, leadership and global engagement to give them an edge on employability.
The SHINE Award is an award winning programme that recognises your achievements in acquiring and applying holistic capabilities (Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities (TGCs)) which gives you the advantage to be future-ready. It is complemented with self-directed and self-paced learning where you get to choose to participate in extra-curricular activities (SHINE Experiential Activities) that are meaningful to you. There are 3 types of SHINE Awards, the highest level being the SHINE Platinum Award, followed by the SHINE Gold Award and SHINE Silver Award.
The SHINE Award helps in enhancing your employability where employers can make an informed decision during hiring. You will be able to showcase your TGCs and your extra effort to develop your graduate capabilities through the SHINE Experiential Activities and your contribution to society.
The SHINE Award is integrated into the curriculum and is awarded based on 2 Levels:
SHINE Points are given when you complete a role recognised in the SHINE Experiential Activities Listing as it recognises your extra efforts to strengthen your TGCs and make a positive contribution to society through activities focusing on 4 main themes and 1 optional theme:
Accumulated SHINE Points and fulfilment of criteria can be used to upgrade to the next tier of SHINE Award using the PLO Attainment as a baseline. All approved activities will also be recorded in the Graduate Capabilities Attainment Transcript.
The G-CAT provides evidence of your achievements in acquiring and applying TGCs through the Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs) attainment and SHINE Experiential Activities. The PLOs attainment indicates your achievements of the TGCs that have been embedded in the curriculum through PLOs, and are assessed in the respective modules. The SHINE Experiential Activities Listing recognises your extra effort to strengthen the TGCs and make positive contribution to society through SHINE Experiential activities.
Yes, you will still receive this transcript as it will capture your PLO score. If you are active in the SHINE Experiential Activities, all your approved involvement (roles) will be listed there too.
(For UWE Dual Award Programme students doing the 3+0, you will still be eligible for the SHINE Award
It will depend on your learning acquired through your reflection. However, if you would like to clarify with us, do contact us at sac@taylors.edu.my
You can start accumulating SHINE Points when you have completed your roles in the approved SHINE Experiential Activities followed by your learning reflection. For more information on activities available and to sign up for roles, do log in to the portal: shineaward.taylors.edu.my
The SHINE Points is awarded only for active roles (i.e. hands on active participation) based on a matrix focusing on Role, Duration of commitment, Prestige, Achievement and Location. Upon completion of the role, you will be required to submit a learning reflection with guided questions. SHINE Points will be awarded upon reflection submission and approval.
A reflection submission is required following a completion of an active role in order for each student to be rewarded with the allocated SHINE points. Writing reflections will help in your learning experience where you will be able to demonstrate your key learning points of growth and validate your experience through artefacts and evidence submission. Reflections also help you to understand the significance of your experiences.
A reflection submission is based on a set of guided questions that would narrate your personal experiences along with personal ideas, opinions and even feelings about the activities that you have organised or helped to organise and the skills that you have learned from it. In the reflection, you must be able to demonstrate that you have used 1 or more of the 8 TGCs.
Reflections are submitted through the SHINE Portal. All you have to do is log in, and submit your participation for a role you carried out with relevant evidences and artefacts and complete the reflection submission.
You would need to submit your goals, Networking Map, and Personal Development Plan in Week 8, during the Professional Development week of your final year.
Should you experience such an issue, please do contact the SHINE Admin, sac@taylors.edu.my
Once you have withdrawn, you will not be able to capture your SHINE Journey/Points. You are encouraged to submit all your reflections within the set timeline, before you choose to withdraw.
