PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Research undertaken has shown that unemployment of graduates is an issue that is worrying, not only locally but it is a global issue. According to the statistics from EPU, 161,000 graduates were unemployed in 2015 out of 400,000 unemployment in Malaysia. And among all the graduates, those who are with Bachelor degree are having the highest percentage of unemployment.

Based on surveys, it was found out that there was a mismatch between the education that the graduates received and the current demand of the employers. Employers keep on mentioning about the quality of graduates that have been produced by universities is not sufficient and could not keep up with the current environment that is constantly changing.

Soft-skills has been identified as the missing element in our graduates. Employers demanding that graduates need to be able to communicate better especially in English to meet international demand, possess creativity and problem-solving skills, as well as ability to work without supervision. At the end of the day, skills that are needed are the one that can help the organisation to accomplish the business goal and to get ahead.

Understanding these issues, this programme was designed to meet the demand of employment and to close the gap between the graduates’ ability and the current needs of the employment market. Through Skim Latihan 1 Malaysia, this programme is aimed to help graduates to be more competitive in the market and able to contribute better to the organization at the same time able to help to boost the economy.

METHODOLOGY

We are using Accelerated Learning Methodology which we combined various techniques to stimulate both left and right brain learning. It incorporates classroom instruction, video presentation, games and simulation, group presentation and self-reflection.

 

  • Instructor Presentation – We emphasize less on the boring lecture part of learning, instead more of presentation to explain the concept using High-Impact Dynamic Presentation Techniques
  • Games and Simulation – Games and simulation create a better method to explain on a certain concept so that it increases the understanding, simulate the emotions of the participants and provide the learning in a fun environment. Using activities through games and simulations can turn boring subject such as english grammar to a more fun experience where participants are engaged. Debriefing was done at every activity, giving a deep reflection on learning. This results in learning to be more effective.

  • Group Presentation – During the programme participants have been given many opportunities to present. It creates opportunities for them to practice and make mistake in a safe environment. Throughout the programme, participants were given many opportunities to speak up a and practice.  Feedback were given on their presentation and how they can improve further. Most presentation allows participants to express their creativity to present their ideas and keep them engaged while expressing their thoughts. During the preparation of the presentation, participants were given opportunities to come out with ideas of their presentation and it gives opportunities for talents to flow from the group discussion.

  • Self-Reflection – Self-reflection creates an opportunity for the participants to go deep inside them to reflect on their strength and weaknesses, including reflecting on their behaviour. Research has indicated that by recognising the preferences of ourselves and others, facilitated self-reflection improves the potential for behavioural change.
