Malaysia Education: Discussing the Importance of Student Employability with SEGi University

Ms Hew Moi Lan, CEO of SEGi University, a leading private tertiary education provider in Malaysia, discusses the importance of student employability and explains what the university does in order to ensure their students have easy access to employment after they graduate.

“At SEGi, we put a lot of emphasis on student employability. We have created a tracking system from the first day when the student joins us to ensure the employability is there. We want to ensure they have the right soft skills and the right attitude. So, we put in place a lot of soft skills training, a lot of exposure for the student, internships with industry and linkages for them. We have a full mapping of this and we give each of them a report card, from day one to the day they graduate, how employable they are, how prepared they are. We have a very comprehensive plan. Our students are really very engaged in this program. Students want to enjoy life. They say the best time in life is during the college years, so we are not depriving them of that. But, we want to ensure they have the right attitude. At the end of the day, it is the career, the employment that counts and we want to ensure that students get what they need before they graduate. This is our responsibility and we take it very seriously”, says Ms Hew Moi Lan.
