Graduate training centres must find jobs for trainees
New Straits Times, 28 July 2005
PUTRAJAYA, July 27: Training centres conducting the Government's Graduate Training Scheme for unemployed graduates must guarantee jobs for trainees on completion of their courses.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr Fong Chan Onn said the privately-run centres could do so through job attachments which are part of the training curriculum.
The scheme will start on Aug 9 as the ministry has yet to finish approving the list of training centres.
Fong said more than 200 training providers had applied to conduct courses to help unemployed graduates improve their marketability.
The courses are in English, information and communication technology, tourism, event management and financial planning.
Nearly half of providers who applied are Bumiputera-run companies.
"We are now processing their applications," Fong (right) said.
"They will qualify only if they have the experience and the capacity to teach courses approved by the ministry.
"Most importantly, they must be able to give some sort of guarantee that trainees will get jobs when they finish the course."
About 15,000 graduates are to be trained. They will each receive a monthly allowance of RM350 for four to six months, depending on the duration of their courses.
The ministry is spending some RM100 million on the scheme, which is held on an ad-hoc basis depending on availability of funds.
The ministry has to pay between RM2,000 and RM3,000 in fees per trainee to the training providers for communication and management courses, and RM6,000 for engineering or IT courses.
Unemployed graduates interested in the scheme should register with state Labour Departments.
On the poor response by school-leavers to the English courses conducted by the Industrial Training Institutes, Fong said the ministry would look into the reasons for the low enrolment.
