More than 30 youths participate in ‘gamified career devt’ workshop
KUCHING: Some 32 youths took part in the ‘Third Edition of Gamified Career Development Skills Workshop’ to enhance their career-related skills.
Hosted by Angkatan Zaman Mansang (Azam) Sarawak, the programme meant to provide the participants with insights regarding self-preparation for entering the professional world with practical skills, and also fostering the spirit of volunteerism in them.
“This is part of Azam Youth Development Committee’s programmes meant to help our youths in terms of career development. The approach that we’re using is a very unique one, where we use business simulation games. The game will expose you to all the challenges in terms of skills, knowledge required for you to climb up the corporate ladder.
“We believe that this programme will be able to provide knowledge that could guide you once you step into the working world,” said Azam Sarawak honorary secretary Mohd Ariff Irwani Azahari in his address for the workshop, at Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) Creative Heritage Innovation Centre (CHIC) here yesterday.
The event, he added, also aimed to facilitate networking opportunities within Azam Young Souls, aligning with the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 and the latest state development agenda.
