CARSOME Academy will collaborate with Sunway University to co-develop soft skills modules for the automotive, TVET training institution’s Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia programmes.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration between an automotive institution and Sunway University will culminate in an online curriculum to benefit CARSOME Academy students pursuing SKM/Technical and Vocational Education and Training. (TVET) courses.
The curriculum comprises six soft skills modules which are Basic and Intermediate English, Basic Concepts of Information Technology Communication Skills, Principles of Management as well as Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills.
This soft skills curriculum was developed in line with the need to provide more holistic skill sets for automotive students. It focuses on enhancing personal attributes that will equip CARSOME Academy graduates for more effective real world interactions as they navigate complex work environments.
The curriculum will be delivered by CARSOME Academy faculty both online and in face-to-face classes.
Teoh Jiun Ee, CARSOME Co-Founder And Chief Executive Officer of CARSOME Academy said, “Equipping our students with both soft and technical skills will enhance the employability of CARSOME Academy’s TVET graduates, driving up their chances for successful job placements. Ultimately, they will be effective and productive Malaysians within the economy.”
“The reality is technical skills alone are not enough for our students to succeed in their future careers. They would need to work with others in teams to solve problems, develop new services, and achieve organisational goals. This specially designed online curriculum will help them acquire a range of professional skills to succeed in their careers. In addition, we take to heart the Government’s clarion call to improve the value of TVET graduates in Malaysia,” he continued.
Professor Sibrandes Poppema, President, Sunway University said, “Sunway University is pleased to collaborate with CARSOME Academy to develop soft skills modules for CARSOME Academy and TVET students as part of a holistic education pathway to improve their employability.”
