Ensuring students are job ready

Students at Multimedia University are nurtured so that they remain relevant and sought after even in highly demanding economies.

TECHNOLOGY now drives the world. The pace of technological development has become so fast that, in some sectors, cutting edge technology becomes obsolete in just a few years.

Multimedia University (MMU) president Prof Datuk Dr Ahmad Rafi Mohd Eshaq said: “The implication is that knowledge or technology which was introduced when a student enrolled into university might become obsolete by the time s/he graduates.”“This is naturally troublesome for students and their families, because entering the job market with knowledge of recently obsolete skills is not a winning proposition,” he said.
