Consider This: Graduate Employment — The Cost of Weak Beginnings

This is according to a recently released Khazanah Research Institute report titled ‘Shifting Tides: Charting the Career Progression of Malaysia’s Skilled Talents’ which focused on the challenges faced by Malaysian graduates during their transition from higher education into the workforce.
