SL1M was incepted in 2011, and with just 15 people making up its team, they have directly and indirectly assisted 144,440 students (figures as of last December). The programme – conducted in collaboration with government-linked companies (GLC) and private companies – helps underemployed and unemployed graduates enhance their marketability with soft skills and on-the-job training for up to 12 months.
To date, 70% of SL1M trainees have been absorbed into the companies they trained at upon successful completion of the programme.
