KUALA NERUS, March 18 (Bernama)
-- The National Youth Entrepreneurship
Career and Skills Carnival (3KBN), organised by the Universiti Malaysia
Terengganu (UMT), provided the best platform for the graduates to find
the best
opportunities and to plan their future.
Deputy Human Resource
Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Abd Muttalib said through
the programme, graduates could approach people from the industry
directly to
find employment opportunities in sectors of their interest.
"Here, the process is
made easier with the presence of more than 64 booths
which offer 5,000 career opportunities, skills and entrepreneurship.
"This programme is not
only open to UMT graduates, but to anyone who wants
to look for opportunities to better their lives because there are also
participation by companies from various sectors such as maritime,
marine
science, engineering, services, tourism, accounting and business,"
he said this
at the carnival's officiating ceremony here today.
His speech was read out by
the UMT Board member, Datuk Asmawi Nordin.
Among entrepreneurial activities carried out
included lectures to give
exposure and experience, as well as business opportunities to the
visitors as a
way to encourage them to choose entrepreneurship and skills as their
career of
choice.
Meanwhile, UMT
vice-chancellor Professor Datuk Dr Nor Aeini Mokhtar said the
two-day carnival which ended today, was a part of the implementation of
the
agenda contained in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher
Education).
"The carnival aimed at
improving the employability of university graduates,
to strengthen the strategies by increasing cooperation between universities
and
agencies as well as to reduce unemployment rate among graduates and
subsequently, to produce holistic graduates, with entrepreneurship
characteristic as well as well-balanced individuals.
"We really hope that all
visitors, especially UMT students, will take
advantage of this carnival to infuse an entrepreneurial mindset to the
entire
higher education system and to create an education system that is
capable of
producing graduates with entrepreneurship characteristic and as job
generators
in the future," she said.
