Govt Cannot Guarantee Jobs For Students Upon Graduation
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- The government cannot guarantee jobs for students upon their graduation from institutions of higher learning, the Dewan Negara was told today."No government in the world can guarantee jobs for all the people," said Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed.Undergraduates must equip themselves with the necessary skills and acumen to enable them to be competitive in the employment market, he said when replying to a question from Senator Datuk Armani Mahiruddin.He said fluency in the English and Malay languages as well as good communication skills were important factors for a graduate to secure a job.Mustapa said the government would strive to ensure that undergraduates were equipped with the skills sought by the employment market upon their graduation.-- BERNAMA
The months after i graduated in 2000 were torture, i search high and low for job vacancies, my last option was to return to Sarikei and get a job as a temporary teacher but i managed to stay on, it was hard, i was working in a factory, to put it nicely an American Manufacturing Company, wow and people would be saying American Company...tsk..tsk.. to put credit to my fellow mates, it was a joy working with them, it puts you in a perspective of a different level, that life goes on... it is how you shape it that determines the man that you are...
ha...ha.. i feel for graduates that are still searching for jobs, do we want to point fingers? All parties are responsible for this mismatch...
