KUCHING, Oct 27: Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (TEGAS) has reached 361,000 students through hands-on programmes since its establishment in 2012, as it continues to expand STEM education, technical and vocational training, and digital entrepreneurship opportunities across Sarawak.

Caretaker Deputy Minister for Urban Planning, Land Administration, and Environment and TEGAS chairman Datuk Len Talif Salleh said the foundation remained committed to preparing Sarawak’s youth for the digital economy through practical learning, career development and startup support.

Speaking at the TEGAS Media Appreciation Night at a hotel here last night (Oct 27), he said the foundation had also given Sarawakian participants opportunities to gain international exposure through initiatives in Vietnam and Bangkok.
