In Malaysia, one of the principal causes of unemployment * is the skill mismatch between the requirements of the industry and the knowledge and skills possessed by graduates. Such a mismatch may be partly due to changes in the economic structure and technological advancement. This phenomenon of unemployed graduates in the midst of an abundance of job opportunities can be avoided by creating mechanisms for collaboration between industry and businesses and the educational and training institutions.

[Note: Unemployment here covers both graduates with non-professional jobs or graduates earning lower than RM1500 – a minimum salary where professional graduates would be earning].

Currently there are thousands of job vacancies in ICT hardcore skills such as programming and systems analysis, with an increasing demand for computer networking and systems administration professionals, multimedia and graphics design professionals as well as vacancies for business development executives and professional marketers. Graduates, who are professionally trained for these jobs can now easily obtain quality job offers and will be high in demand in the future.

To meet the shortfall of these professionals, we are proudly introducing our highly successful CCSP (Certified Career Specialist Program). This program is specifi cally developed for diploma and degree holders who aspire to become specialists and be a part of the Malaysian K-Workers for MNCs and MSC companies and enjoy lucrative and professional careers. Demands for CCSP certified graduates are greater than what we can supply, refl ecting the industry’s recognition towards this program. Ever since we started the program in 2004, we have produced over 3,000 graduates and successfully secured 100% job placements for these graduates who are currently in employment with over 250 companies locally and overseas. In addition, KLMU works very closely with the industry players to ensure that the curriculum is dynamic and meets current industrial needs.
