Hiring Engineering Graduates: Opportunities & Challenges

To support economic development and digital transformation, the demand for engineering graduates in Malaysia has increased rapidly in recent years. Yet, employers find it hard to recruit engineering graduates as they often require specific experience and qualifications. On the other hand, engineering graduates could not get a job in engineering and often move into other careers.

In this online forum in collaboration between SME Malaysia and Kabel, our panel of Business Leaders will discuss :

• Challenges and opportunities of hiring Gen Z engineering graduates into the workforce
• Understanding what matters to engineering graduates and their key concerns
• Strategic approach to attract & hire engineering graduates
