INSEP: For Graduates, For Unemployed, For Self Enhancement....

INSEP >> Industrial Skills Enhancement Program...You know aaa???

I believe lots of Malaysian know about this program but I bet there are more people who don't know about it. Frankly, this program been exist quite long already but there is no major expose even to the U students and pre-graduates. Those who know about it either less information or have no source for reference. You might familiar with Giat Mara program, so this INSEP actually similar to it just its only for diploma and degree holder (they have other programmes for those ex-SPM/STPM -> WTTP: Workforce Technical Transformation Program). All this kind of program is subsidised under Malaysia Government; which in other word its totally free plus the trainees are given monthly allowance.

Each state have different courses offered depending on the state current demand itself. Like for Sabah more on plantation management and OSH but Malacca more on semi-conductor industries. Do you have any idea how much this types of course if you take it by your own outside? Taking the OSH course for example. Try check NIOSH link here and look for the courses and exam rates. Do your own calculation la yeee....

OK, its not just the 'subsidy' makes this program interesting. The first thing graduates do after get their scroll are job hunting; aiming for high salary but they forget that they still lack with experience. Why wanna sacrified another half of a year just to gain a cerificate? Better continue to Master or Phd kan...Well ya,your academic achievement surely a priority but when come to ‘working’ world, the employer will want to know what skill you can offer rather only what writen on your academic scroll. This program offer you the training and certificate that recognize you capable and master the skill (but have to finish and pass the course exam la..if fail still gain the certificate better make your own certificate la). It probably less glamour than but it surely highly value ^_^

Oppsss....still blur why I’m sooo excite+eager+’sumangkit’ with INSEP even it just offer you certificate? Hmm...lets create a situation here. I’m an electrical engineering degree holder, no experience and registered with BEM as graduated engineer. My friend only have diploma in electrical engineering but have Chargeman/ Wireman certificate. If you an employer, between my friend and me, who you think have high chance to be employed? And who will be offered high paycheck compare to the other? Fikir-fikir and seek the info around you k!

My advice....while you still in study mood continue it either for further level or any self-enchancement training because once you get a job, your commitment is totally different and became more and more where you hardly find time to get back to class unless you work as lecturer hehehe :p But in some case you might have better job offer than continue your study so the choices always be yours....Just better be hard now rather regrate it later wawawawa ßkinda talk about myself pulak (T_T)

p/s: Jom join INSEP OSH hehehe....
