Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that initiatives will be undertaken to improve the employability of fresh graduates
During the tabling of Belanjawan 2026 today, 10 October, Anwar said that RM200 million will be allocated to Khazanah Nasional for the K-Youth Programme, which aims to provide on-the-job training to 11,000 youths without degrees in these strategic sectors:
- Machinery training
- MRO (maintenance, repair, operations)
- Digital and technological fields
Anwar also said Majlis Amanah Rakyat's Industrial Boot Camp (IBC) has trained almost 5,000 applicants and provided them with job guarantees.
A total of RM30 million has been allocated to continue the IBC programme.
Another RM15 million has also been earmarked to strengthen the Second Chance Programme
The programme is expected to benefit up to 1,700 individuals, including former addicts at the Narcotics Addiction Rehabilitation Centre.
Some 3,000 female former prisoners who do not receive family support are also expected to benefit under the Second Chance Programme. They will receive incentives to start a business and generate income to help restart their lives.
Anwar called on more private companies to come forward to help make the Second Chance programme a success.
