“I don’t think I have to worry about getting a job after I graduate. Our local higher education institutions give us special privileges like internship opportunities in our dream companies.
If we perform well, the company might hire us after we graduate so we are in a more secure position compared to those who did not have the chance to become interns.
But until I graduate, I must remain active in co-curricular activities because employers do not look at our academic results.
Our skills matter. As students we need to start exploring our employment options post-graduation, and not wait until we are out in the real world.”
Muhammad Fahmi Saleh, 22, Universiti Putra Malaysia
