Hate to admit this.....but just want to share with you guys.
I attended the Re-Skilling Scheme last year....sent there by my company. I know this is for unemployed only but the superior from my company is one of the sponsor for this scheme so I was there for training, doing a course relevent to my company's field.
So I and another colleague was there for the torturing 6 months, attending the 9am-6pm course at Shah Alam. In my class of 19 people, only me and my colleague were Chinese. And there were merely any Chinese in other classes.
But I had to admit that the courses conducted were very essential and I got to know a lot of great Malay friends there. But the aftermath of the scheme were disastrous. After the 6 months in-class course, we have to go through another 6 months of practical/assessment training where we were only paid an allowance of RM500. Some were lucky to be sent to company like Flextronic...It was just like doing Latihan Industri. Pay peanut and work like a cow. Why need to go through this twice?
Some of my friend can't tahan the work load abuse and left....some can tahan and finished it but they end up looking for new job after the whole 1 year Re-Skilling Scheme ended. So it was like back to the start.
Me and my colleague don't have to go through the practical training as we had to go back to work at our previous company.
And yes, if you're lazy to start real work now, you can give this Scheme a try. Nothing to lose because you'll still gain extra knowledge at the end.

Personally, I don't think we need this so-call Reskilling Scheme. We were already well armoured during the 3 or 4 years of uni life. Time to do real work!

But it's more suitable for Form 5 leavers.
