KUCHING, Oct 10: Sarawak youths must look beyond traditional career paths and embrace emerging technologies, with critical fields offering better job prospects and entrepreneurial opportunities as the State prepares for its future economic needs.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof said fields such as engineering, science, psychology, aerospace, artificial intelligence (AI) and renewable energy would be increasingly important in meeting Sarawak’s future workforce needs.
“The Sarawak government is providing free education, although not for all subjects. It is limited to critical fields.
“These are fields that the State government believes will provide students with opportunities and avenues to secure employment or venture into business after completing their studies,” he said during a special dialogue session with Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali at the Motivasi Sedia Menghadapi Masa Depan Programme at Taman Sukma Multipurpose Hall today.
