In the professional world, goals play a pivotal role. Individuals entering this sphere must possess skills and competencies that align with these objectives and contribute effectively. This principle applies to both regular employees and professionals. As job seekers, it’s crucial to consider the value we can bring to the companies we aim to join. While experience is a prerequisite, what truly matters is how that experience correlates with our existing skills and competencies. This mindset should be instilled from secondary education through higher education. Our goal should extend beyond producing graduates based solely on numerical achievements; instead, we should focus on nurturing quality graduates who can make meaningful contributions to the workforce and, ultimately, impact the economy. https://lnkd.in/g_WM9zjr

Managing Director of GTI Media, Isaac Hee, went live on Channel News Asia last night to share insights into the S100 Survey conducted in Singapore, as well as some of the shifts in graduate job demands and concerns that fresh graduates have when job hunting. These concerns are mirrored by graduates in Malaysia as well, and may signal global concerns and changes in the current graduate job market and the coming years.

The title "About half of experienced Malaysian graduates surveyed are overqualified for their jobs" perhaps it will become more intuitive and carry more urgency if it is rephrased as such "About half of experienced Malaysian graduates fail to secure jobs commensurate with their qualifications." Over the years, there have been so much hypes about learning infrastructure such as AI-assisted learning, online learning tools and etc. These are important but yet there are only the vessels. Perhaps it is time to focus on the quality of the content itself (not so much on the vessels)? Quality content is the outcome of the quality of the lecturers delivering the material. Are there sufficient resources and guidance provided to them to ensure their mastery in their respective fields? Or they probably don't need any guidance simply because they have PhDs and so just put them in their respective slots and hope that they perform wonders in both teaching and research?

Moving Forward with High-Skilled Job Creation and Industry-Aligned Education Hawati Abdul Hamid totally agree with this. Creating high-skilled, well-paying jobs and aligning education with evolving industry needs are critical strategies for building a competitive workforce. But to make this a reality, it requires the collaboration and support of all stakeholders—from educators and policymakers to businesses and industry leaders. Here’s how we can move forward: 1. Industry-Aligned Education: + Curriculum Updates: Educational institutions must continuously update curriculums to reflect current industry trends and technologies. + Partnerships: Strengthen collaborations between educational bodies and industries to offer internships, apprenticeships, and hands-on training. 2. High-Skilled Job Creation: + Innovation-Driven Jobs: Support sectors like AI, robotics, digital transformation, and green technology that promise high-skilled, well-paying job opportunities. + Upskilling and Reskilling: Provide opportunities for continuous learning and upskilling to help workers stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market. 3. Stakeholder Collaboration: + Government and Industry Support: Policies and incentives that encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment in high-growth sectors. + Private Sector Involvement: Companies play a crucial role in shaping the future workforce by investing in employee development and partnering with educational institutions. The future of work is rapidly changing, and now more than ever, it’s crucial that all stakeholders come together to ensure that we are preparing today’s workforce for tomorrow’s challenges. Let’s work collectively to drive these strategies forward and build a stronger, more sustainable future.

Malaysian graduates have begun to admit defeat against our labour market; waving white flags during their job search. Evidently, our labour market is in desperate need of comprehensive reform. Our researchers, Dr Amirul Rafiq, Ph.D & Laventhen Sivashanmugam explore the pressing issue of underemployment among fresh graduates.

When the PPSMI was first introduced in 2003, I was among the supporters. When it was abolished, I was quite frustrated. As a HR Professional, I can say with conviction that among the frustration of many employers in Malaysia is the inability of job seekers to communicate proficiently in English. I'm fully aware of the arguments given by most Malay nationalists about how countries like Japan and Korea, and now China, that don't have PPSMI have proven that they can become economic giants without English proficiency. I acknowledge that it is true. However, I personally do not see how Malaysians, especially Malays, could lose their Malay language proficiency or even their culture & heritage simply because they learn Science & Mathematics in English. If by learning those subjects in English could expedite the nation's economic growth in this current global economy - which Singapore has clearly proven - then why can't Malaysian do the same? Yes there are still Malaysians - despite having been independence for almost 70 years - who still couldn't speak proficient national language (Malay language), it's a fact that it's not due to learning Science & Maths in English. PPSMI was first introduced 46 years after independence and it was scrapped few years later. There were, and still are Malaysians who can't speak Malaysian national language. To me, that's clear proof that the cause isn't PPSMI. Minds need to open wider. Culture & heritage shouldn't be an excuse for not learning other things. Otherwise, I'd personally feel ashamed as a Malay when my culture & heritage appears to be anti-learning. Because I know that my culture encourages learning, exploration, development and progress. Progress comes along with knowledge. I know for a fact that my culture & heritage encourages learning.
