“This event also provides the best platform for UTP students to better understand the challenges of the job market today. With this understanding, our students and graduates will be better prepared with the knowledge, competencies and attitude as required by employers,” said Mohamed Noor Rosli Baharom, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs and Alumni, UTP.
