MIRI: The Sarawak Skills Development Centre ( PPKS) Miri will hold open interviews at the Limbang District Council meeting room today (June 22) and at the Lawas Public Library tomorrow (June 23).
PPKS marketing executive Derell Ladi said the interview sessions are for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia ( SPM) school leavers wishing to apply for the July and August intakes for Malaysian Skills Certificate ( SKM) and diploma courses.
“Hopefully the interview conducted will provide opportunities to students that are yet to further their studies due to their SPM results to pursue their studies at PPKS,” he said in a media statement.
Students need to bring along photocopies of documents such as their birth certificate, SPM results slip, school leaving certificate, and three passportsized photographs.
Courses offered under SKM are Mechatronics, Industrial Electronics, Electrical, and Computer Systems.
“For academic courses, the courses are Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering ( CEE), BTEC ( Business and Technology Education Council) Higher National Diploma ( HND) in Electrical/ Electronic Engineering, Diploma in Business Administration ( DBA), and Diploma in Plantation Management ( DPM),” said Derell.
For the CEE, students must have SPM with one credit in any subject, and a pass in Mathematics; while for the DBA, students need to have SPM with three credits (any subject); and for DPM they must have SPM a credit for Science and two other subjects.
“PPKS is also providing sponsorship and education loans from the Skills Development Fund Corporation (PTPK) and the National Higher Education Fund Corporation ( PTPTN).
