(Reuters) - Alphabet-owned Google is laying off at least 100 employees from several teams in its cloud unit, CNBC reported on Monday.
PETALING JAYA: When he first started out three years ago, Muhammad Asyraf Muhammad Amin crafted small wall racks for vegetables at the back of his house in Kelantan that he sold in his hometown of Kok Lanas.
Success stories such as Asyraf’s are something that officials and experts in the field of technical and vocational education and training are banking on to reverse a trend of SPM graduates declining to further their studies due to the high cost of tertiary education. “They taught me everything about working with wood, from how to identify different trees to how to design, cut, carve and craft,” said the young man, who graduated with a diploma in wood-based technology.
“You won’t waste your time because you will develop skills in a field that is in demand, and the demand will only increase.” About 80% of PSA’s degree holders are able to find work in the fields that they studied in, and among engineering diploma holders, the rate is 50%, said Zainah.“This is because of our work-based learning method, where we link studying in the polytechnic with studying in the industry to fuse theory and practice,” she told The Star.
