A Literature Review On Academia–Industry Collaboration Portal

Higher education institutions, students, employers, and placement offices often keep information about skills, training, vacancies, applications, and outcomes in separate systems. This can make it harder for students to identify skill gaps, for employers to clearly state eligibility rules, and for institutions to maintain consistent placement records. This paper presents a conceptual architecture for the Academia Industry Collaboration Portal, structured around a role-based project workflow. It brings student profiles and education documents, practical skills assessment, gap analysis, current opportunity recommendations, applications, industry training, institutional event requests, faculty–industry collaboration, placement reporting, and platform administration together through a shared backend and database. The design distinguishes assessed evidence from self-reported skills, mandatory eligibility from match rankings, uploaded documents from verified documents, and role-based access from unrestricted visibility. The platform must clearly define each percentage, including its inputs and calculation. Recommendations are limited to active, published opportunities, and access depends on role and purpose. Relevant literature informs the design choices. The paper also outlines a design-science approach for building and evaluating the artifact in future work. The workflow remains a proposed specification; this paper reports no implemented platform, user study, or performance results. The contribution is an architecture for examination, implementation, and empirical evaluation in higher education.
