Kuala Lumpur Hosts National Career Carnival, Connecting Graduates with Top Employers The Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) recently hosted the National Career Carnival in Kuala Lumpur, a significant event connecting recent graduates with over 100 leading companies. The collaboration with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) ensured a diverse range of industries were represented, offering ample opportunities for job seekers. "The carnival was incredibly helpful," said Syed Hafiz Syed Fauzi, a recent graduate interviewed at the event. "Being able to speak directly with companies, rather than relying solely on online platforms, made a huge difference." The interviews also revealed the priorities of young job seekers. Nurul Izzah Zainudin, another graduate, emphasized the importance of gaining experience: "I understand that fresh graduates often lack experience, but this carnival gave me valuable insights into what I need to prepare for my applications." The event's success underscores the KPT's commitment to supporting graduates in their job search, offering a valuable platform for networking and securing employment opportunities in a competitive market.
