Encouraging Companies to Employ FRESH GRADUATES

 

 

NCER Talent Enhancement Programme (NTEP) is a human capital programme programme designed to ensure adequate skilled manpower that matches the industry’s requirements in the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER).

The NTEP incentive is meant to encourage companies to employ fresh graduates and provide them with adequate training, in lieu of hiring experienced personnel or foreign knowledge workers. Companies must offer these graduates a monthly salary of at least RM1,500, among other conditions, for them to qualify for the incentive.

This incentive is also tailored to boost the employability of local graduates, unemployed graduates, retrenched workers, contract workers, part-time workers and graduate trainees by providing them with job opportunities while ensuring a skilled workforce that matches the industry needs within NCER.

New graduates who join Micron Memory Malaysia will undergo on-the-job training for six months, covering both technical and soft skills. Trainees are also given work exposure at other Micron sites in the region such as Xi’an in China and Singapore. This familiarises them with the company’s values, systems, structure, and technology, while also providing networking opportunities. Each trainee will also be assigned a “buddy” who acts as their mentor at the workplace.
 

ViTrox Corporation has its own in-house series of soft skills training programmes for new graduates. These include email writing and presentation skills, which are covered in the “Effective Series”. There is also the “Language Mastery Series” which is on communication skills, and the “Lean Series” which covers problem-solving skills through Lean Tools and mindset cultivation.
 

Oppstar Technology provides a series of Integrated Circuit (IC) Design training classes for NTEP trainees which lasts between four to six months. The training, which covers both theoretical and practical aspects, is conducted by the company in partnership with Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Collaborative Microelectronic Design Excellence Centre (CEDEC). Classes include Introduction to IC Design, Digital Front End Design, Digital Back End Design, Analog Circuit Design, Custom Layout Design and Design for Test.

Oppstar Technology will monitor the trainees’ learning progress and identify their strengths before assigning them to the appropriate IC Design job scope, where they will be led by the Company’s senior designers. Trainees who are ready will be immediately assigned to local and overseas projects under the guidance of senior designers until they are able to work independently. Regular dialogue and shared learning sessions are also conducted to help expedite their IC Design learning process.
