The Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) in Malaysia recently launched the 2026-2030 Graduate Employability Strategic Plan (PSKG) to enhance the employability of graduates. This comprehensive plan aims to produce graduates who can adapt to changes in the workforce, meet current and future market demands, and remain competitive. Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir emphasized that the plan involves upskilling programs through partnerships with industry players to ensure graduates' skills align with job market needs.
The plan is anchored by the vision of creating "Adaptive, Agile and Resilient Graduates as Catalysts for a High-Income Nation." It also involves cross-ministerial collaboration with the Economy Ministry, MITI, and the Human Resources Ministry (KESUMA). The plan is progressing well, but requires periodic review of market requirements.
Minister Zambry stressed the importance of joint assessment and consensus among relevant ministries and agencies for accurate workforce requirements, noting that the demand is not limited to degree holders but spans across various qualification levels. Additionally, the 2026 PKGKPT conference, co-organized with the National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM), serves as a national platform to discuss job mismatches, starting salaries, and strengthen industry-academia collaboration.
The conference also recognized public higher education institutions (IPTA) with the 2021-2025 Graduate Employability Excellence Performance Awards.
