Yee urges graduates to continue to learn
KOTA KINABALU:
Resource Development and Information Technology Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai has urged graduates to continue their learning and grab every opportunity to improve and equip themselves with the necessary skills. He said learning did not end after they have fmished their courses. “I would like to say here that you must continue your learning and not to be satisfied with what you have achieved today. It is very important to enhance your skills so that you can make a positive contribution to the society, the State and the country,” Yee said in his keynote address during the Sabah Skills and Technology Centre (SSTC)’s certificate presentation ceremony at ShangriLa’s Tanjung Aru Resort here yesterday. A total of 289 trainees received their certificates for completing their programs in Industrial Skills Enhancement Program (INSEP) and Workforce Technical Transformation Program (WTTP). The INSEP is for graduates while the WTTP is for SPM leavers. Yee added the State and Federal Governments had spent a lot of money to develop human capital as one of the key emphasis in the Ninth Malaysia Plan is the development of the country’s human capital.
Thus he hoped that the graduates could grab the opportunity to enhance their skills and could go to a higher level.
“We have also set up a job centre and I believe that there is some relevancy for your career,” said Yee who congratulated the SSTC Management Council and management team for making every effort to ensure these young people receive relevant skills training.
SSTC is a non-profit organisation set up jointly by the industry and Government to focus on the training of Sabah’s workforce. The centre is presently offering various courses such as technical, manufacturing, and management skills and continuing education. For 2006, the Federal Government had increased its commitment to skills training by fully sponsoring training for both graduates and schoolleavers.
