The economic downturn that the world is facing today has resulted in a much less predictable and fast changing labour market. The work environment now requires participants to have certain skills in addition to their academic qualification to ensure that employees are able to sustain their economic competitiveness.
In view of that, the Sarawak government through the Chief Minister's Department has initiated the Capacity Building Programme for Graduates which was launched by YAB Chief Minister on 19 June 2009 with the objective of building up the capacity of the participants through training and retraining of the participants. It is also to prepare them with the necessary knowledge and skills as to increase their employability and marketability in the job market. This programme is part of an effort to meet the demands for skilled workers, participants and professionals required for Sarawak Corridor for Renewable Energy (SCORE).
A total of 286 participants attached with various agencies and government departments attended tonight's prgram with YB Datuk Haji Mohamad Morshidi bin Abdul Ghani, State Secretary of Sarawak as Guest of honour.
