Insights on Education and Career Advice in Malaysia

On this episode of Resource Center, we speak with Dr. Prashun Kumar Choudhury from MindBeez Consulting to discuss the multifaceted landscape of career guidance in Malaysia.

We delve into the evolution of career guidance in the nation, particularly against the backdrop of Malaysia's transition towards more technology, finance, and healthcare-driven industries.

In the face of a rapidly changing job market, we also discuss the challenges students face in charting their educational and career paths, and the roles that holistic education and career guidance play in fostering lifelong career development, and addressing common misconceptions surrounding career guidance.

Last but not least, our discussion also covers the initiatives in Malaysia aimed at providing individuals from diverse and marginalised backgrounds with access to quality education and career guidance, as well as future trends in this field, especially with the advent of AI and technical innovations.
