Many young Sabahans, especially from the rural areas, venture into the city to look for jobs.
In most cases, they end up working as shop assistants, in sales, coffeeshops and such places because of their low education.
Although there is nothing wrong with such occupations, they are mostly shunned because they pay relatively little.
Most
young school leavers are now more interested in acquiring skills to
make a better living but it’s not easy — and only the determined and
diligent are not afraid of learning through trial and error.
The
1Azam programme, therefore, is a boon to these individuals, especially
when they are taught living skills and not merely given facilities they
would otherwise not know how to use.
