The irrelevancy as well as the lack of job opportunity of two courses
conducted at the Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara (IKBN), resulted in
both to be replaced by a course on hospitality.

Kerjaya
IKBN director
Rosdi Sokri disclosed this during the launching of the ‘Program Gerbang
Kerjaya’ yesterday where trainees of the institute were afforded with
the opportunities to undergo interview sessions with several government
and private agencies, including Jobs Malaysia Centre Sabah, Sabah Forest
Industries Sdn Bhd, Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd, Telekom Malaysia, Mizuho
Precision Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, Public Mutual, CIMB Wealth and Handy
Corporation Sdn Bhd.
Describing the issue as long standing, Rosdi
said the institute had forwarded a proposal to the Ministry of Sports
and Youth to review the relevance of conducting the audio visual and
electronic courses at the institute’s branch campus in Sabah.
“Even
though the demand for the two courses is good, but many trainees who
have passed out from the institute with qualifications in either one
have not been able to secure jobs. “We have submitted a proposal
to replace both courses with a course on hospitality as it provides more
job opportunities in the state,” he said.
He also expressed hope for the ministry to thoroughly consider the proposal since it involves the future of the youths.
Commenting
on the marketability of their trainees, Rosdi said 75 per cent of the
2011 trainees had secured jobs in the respective fields they were
trained in, adding that each intake is limited to 250 students due to
the limited space available in the workshops.
Wajarlah kursus yang tidak relevan dan kurang peluang pekerjaan dibatalkan dan ditukar dengan kursus yang lebih berpotensi dan memenuhi permintaan pasaran pekerjaan.
ReplyDeleteMemang betul, kursus yang tidak releven perlulah digugurkan supaya tidak lagi menghasilkan para pelajar yang tidak mampu mendapatkan pekerjaan setelah penghabisan pengajian.
DeleteSetuju, kursus yang tidak relevant atau sudah tidak laku dalam industri lebih dimansuhkan saja.
DeletePara pelajar juga perlulah membuat pemilihan kursus yang boleh membantu mereka mendapatkan pekerjaan yang baik setelah selesai pengajian.
ReplyDeleteKaji semua pelajaran yang tidak laku dalam industri
ReplyDeletesemua IPTA dan IPTS juga patut menggugurkan mana2 kursus yang tidak releven atau kurang peluang pekerjaan.. jangan terlalu mementingkan keuntungan sehingga mengabaikan kepentingan pelajar/penuntut..
