KOTA KINABALU: SEC is proud to announce the launch of its Skill Enhancement Career Advancement (SECA) programme, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative designed to tackle graduate unemployment by offering practical training and skill enhancement
opportunities within SEC.
This innovative program will select and train ten unemployed graduates over six months, providing them a competitive monthly allowance to ensure financial stability during their training.
In partnership with Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and the Institut Latihan Perindustrian Labuan (ILP Labuan), five outstanding graduates from each institution have been carefully chosen to participate in this program.
The selection criteria focused on candidates from underprivileged families, including the B40 group, with a CGPA of 3.50 and above.
In a simple ceremony held at UMS on 22 July 2024, a delegation led by the Head of Human Resources & Administration, Puan Dayang Kamariah Datu Bistari presented the offer letter to five UMS graduates, and witnessed by the Director of UMS Pusat Kerjaya dan Pembangunan Keusahawanan Pelajar, Profesor Madya Ts. Dr. Sidah binti Idris. A similar
event took place earlier, on 18 July, in Labuan, where five ILP Labuan graduates received their offer letters from SEC.
The six-month SECA program offers participants a competitive monthly allowance to ensure financial stability during training. Participants will receive hands-on industry training within SEC, focusing on technical proficiency, practical skill development, and soft skills enhancement.
Each trainee will be paired with a mentor for guidance and support.
Exceptional performers may be integrated into SEC’s workforce, providing a pathway to long-term employment. Regular assessments will monitor progress and ensure continuous program improvement.
SEC’s SECA initiative aligns seamlessly with the state government’s efforts to combat hardcore poverty by creating meaningful employment opportunities and advancing human capital development. This reaffirms SEC’s commitment to community betterment and economic empowerment, inspiring hope for a brighter future.-pr/BNN
