Efforts to meet industry demand for skilled grads underway, says Zambry


KUALA LUMPUR: Vice-chancellors at higher education institutions must assess industry demands and the labour market to ensure graduates are prepared for areas where there is a demand for more skilled workers, says Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

The Higher Education Minister said the current lack of skilled workers was due to the mismatch in skills driven by changes in industry that are now more sophisticated following the Covid-19 pandemic.
