The National Youth Skill Training Institute's
(IKBN) courses will be revised to make it relevant to the job market, said
Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, BERNAMA reported .
He said the ministry would seek the
assistance of the private sector to tailor the courses to the market
requirement.
"Fresh certificate holders from IKBN earn
between RM800 and RM900 a month and the salary is not longer adequate.
"We hope they will enjoy a better pay if
the courses suited the job market," he told reporters after inspecting the
construction of the RM78 million Kertih IKBN here Tuesday (15 September 2009).
He said career exhibitions would also be held
to expose IKBN trainees on job prospects and expectations.
The Kerteh IKBN, which will be completed in
March next year, could accommodate 500 students.
