Sponsored Post: Career Opportunities in Shared Services and
Oursourcing were showcased in Sector Focused Career Fair organized by Talentcorp
and Uitm!
There are many potential
talents in Malaysia. However, a lot of them were left undiscovered due to the
lack of opportunities to progress and soar in a specific career. To optimize
the Malaysia talents as well as facilitating the awareness among the public
regarding the career opportunities in priority sectors under the 11 National
Key Economic Areas (NKEAs), Talent
Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) has taken the strategy to host a Sector Focus Career Fair (SFCF) last
week (12th November 2013) at
University Teknologi Mara (UITM).
This event was
officiated by YB Senator Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid Bin Omar, Minister in the Prime
Minister’s department and it was
a joint effort between TalentCorp,
Graduan, MDeC and UiTM. Shared
Services and Outsourcing (SSO) was the main topic during the fair.
During the dialogue session at the SFCF, Dato’s Sri Wahid has shared his
thoughts regarding Malaysia’s socioeconomic development. He voiced out that in
order to achieve the vision of a transformed economy, measures need to be taken
such as formulation of effective policies, development of programmes through
outcome based approach, strengthening of efficiency and professionalism and
establishment of organizational capacities for effective services delivery. The
Shared Services and Outsourcing will be a “key” to move the economy of Malaysia
forward.
On the other
hand, CEO of TalentCorp, Johan Mahmood
Merican stated that the success of Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) is
very dependent on having the right quantity and quality of talents. The SFCF
was aimed to provide more exposure and attract the young yet talented Malaysian
graduates to pursue the exciting career in the rapidly growing shared services
sector. Shared services can bring along a “kill two birds with one stone”
impact as it will not only allow young graduates to enjoy themselves in an
international experience right here in Malaysia but also allow them to
contribute to the success of the industry and Malaysia’s transformation.
More than 30
companies have supported the SFCF UiTM
programme. Some of the notable companies include AIG, DHL, Electrolux, Frost
& Sullivan, GlaxoSmithKline, HP, IBM, LaFarge, Sime Darby and PwC.
In addition,
Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs of UiTM, Professor Dato’ Dr. Abdullah
Mohammed Said has shared with the public regarding UiTM vision in establishing
its reputation as a premier university of academic excellence. UiTM has the
target to enhance the knowledge and expertise of talents in all fileds via
their professional programmes, research work and community service programmes.
Regarding this sector focused career fair, he stated that it has acted as a
solid reference and resource for their students to discover critical industries
such as SSO.
It is not often that the graduates can meet with CEOs
and senior HR representatives of a few renowned companies. However, the SFCF
has granted the graduates with this golden opportunity as well as providing a
route for the companies to scout for potential talents from universities in
Malaysia. The undergraduates were also able to learn more regarding the
developing sectors in Malaysia while the companies were able to educate the
public regarding industry developments, sectoral branding and ultimately,
regarding SSO sector.
The two-day event has involved Career Talks and Couch Corner Slot.
Both of these have allowed the younger generations to interact with the
industry leaders and the companies under a comfortable atmosphere with
informative inputs.
