SINTOK: Enhancing entrepreneurial skills among students of the institutions of higher learning (IPT) is one of the main agendas of the Higher Education Ministry (KPT) to produce graduates who would create job opportunities in the future.
Its secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said for that reason, the ministry was collaborating with Alibaba Business School to carry out the Global E-commerce Talent (GET) 'Train the Trainers' programme.
The first session of the programme, which aimed at helping students and lecturers to learn more knowledge of e-commerce, was participated by 50 lecturers from six IPT including Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
"To ensure our students are also involved in entrepreneurship, 30 of them will depart to China next Saturday. They will be there for a week to study e-commerce. We want the students to become job creators not job seekers after they graduate," she told reporters after closing the GET programme at UUM here today.
Also present were Alibaba Group vice-president Brian Wong and UUM vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Mustafa Ishak.
Noorul Ainur said the ministry would further discuss the proposed GET certificate from Alibaba Business School for participants of the training programme.
Meanwhile, Wong said Alibaba Business School aimed to train 5,000 Malaysian students.
"We hope that the lecturers will groom some 100 students thus helping us to achieve the target," he said. — Bernama
