Hi everyone. Wanna ask if I accept offer for SL1M/protege program then after few months into the training I get a real & better job offer, how would it be? Is it compulsory to complete 12 months training? Will it be langgar contract? The contract depends on the company or gov? Help meee

you can resign anytime if u want if u got other job offer but must provide resignation letter to the company. notice period depend on the company.
not compulsory for u to finish the training.
contract depend on company i think.

Put more effort bin getting a permanent job instead, unless if you have no choice. HR don't look to kindly to slim or protege ppl

Thank you for your answer

Why do you say so? any particular reason?

It's like scraping the bottom of the barrel.

To put it bluntly, yes

Woaa I never knew that's how company see SL1M/Protege trainee. I thought it able to increase employability

I actually don't mind to consider a SL1M candidate but I'd like to ask him what has he achieved after six months of training. If no achievement, there is nothing to talk about.

In fact I've actually interviewed these types before. All I can say is I'm not impressed.

I see. But is a candidate without experience at all is seen better than those SL1M candidates?

To me, not necessarily.

A candidate without experience is like a blank piece of paper, untested and unknown. To me this is worse than a SL1M graduate. At least a SL1M graduate has undergone at least 6 months of work training. His performance is for all to see and judge.

On the other hand, fresh graduates are totally untested in real work. Many run away at the first and slightest obstacle and challenge. Coupled with high ego, hiring a fresh grad is a risky affair.

Thank you Sir for your insights. I am actually considering to accept a 12months Protege program (Previously SL1M) offer by a company with industry within my degree field. I've been unable to secure a job related to my study since I graduated in March this year. Entering into depressed and desperate phase, I just thought that it's a good offer

You're welcome sir. May I know what are you qualified in? Perhaps I can help.

Sure I have Bach Degree in Health Science (Biomedicine). I also have 4 months' experience as a research assistant after completing my degree. Thank you for your kind intention.

I would also appreciate any advice or suggestion for a job seeker like me

As per fellow bro Ipohmali70 has mentioned, its better to have experienced the training (even with Protege) than to have nothing at all to show. You can share your contribution and hopefully transition into permanent role. Most of those accepting proteges are noteworthy companies.

But here's your consideration, going in you need to excel, be open minded ready to learn, develop your people skills and seek for a mentor. Learn from seniors and be a great team member. I have known real life cases where proteges get accepted as permanent so it is possible.

I wish you a the best

Hi, did you took the offer? Can share your experience and view on it? I just received an offer for this program.
