“Adopt a reskilling and upskilling mindset. Continuously work towards increasing your skills to get employed and stay employed. This is especially so for in-demand roles in fast-growing industries. Enhance your soft skills and English proficiency. Take up courses to improve your digital skills. Businesses are globalised and most use English as the medium of communication. Most are also moving towards digitalisation. New graduates must continue learning, whether they are in part-time or full-time jobs. Higher education institutions must keep pace with market demands by forging stronger linkages with the industry. This would enable them to identify the appropriate skills and qualifications needed for future jobs. Higher education institutions also have to prioritise enhancing digital skills, soft skills, critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and emotional skills among their students.”
