One of Malaysia’s current challenges is youth unemployment. Young people face the “heat” in the labour market due to lack of job-relevant skills. Fresh graduates still have to wait for months before securing an employment, and since the COVID-19 pandemic, many are still unemployed. In line with this, the Southern Leadership Bootcamp has been launched and will be held on the 6th and 7th January 2023.
Southern Leadership is a youth leadership programme that aims to strive for better youth employment and to be part of an inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. The main objective of this programme is to deliver the best and most comprehensive leadership development experience to the youth through practical challenges and skill-building activities that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With the tagline “Blooming Aspiration, Infinite Inspirations,” AIESEC aims to combat the rise of youth unemployment in Malaysia by acting as the connecting bridge between graduate talents at universities and corporations through networking opportunities, engagement with speakers in corporate-held workshops, and developing leadership potential as well as setting one’s own career path. The topics range from business field, talent development to leadership.
The Southern Leadership Bootcamp is a great opportunity for undergraduates to develop interpersonal skills, expand their network, and gain knowledge and perspectives from corporate leaders. It would also provide undergraduates with business case stimulation experiences as well as internship or work opportunities.
Five key activities will be held with the topics of:
- Leadership Forum: Leadership talk that sparks the mind.
- Speed Networking: Take advantage of the opportunity to network with professionals on-site as a prerequisite for establishing a long-term relationship.
- Gamified Leadership Training: Learn and be exposed to lead through fun games.
- Business Simulation: Use critical and innovative thinking to solve real business problems or situational case study topics.
- Talent Audition: Submission of a resume and the opportunity to interact with companies and conduct a mock or real interview.
Huawei Malaysia which has approximately 195,000 employees and operates in over 170 countries and regions is AIESEC’s corporate partner for the Southern Leadership Bootcamp. This would provide the participants an opportunity to engage with an international company and experience several sessions delivered by outstanding speakers with vast experience in their field of expertise. Other sponsor partners include AM PM Pharmacy, Eye·Glass·Optometrist, and Kaijia Muslim Food.
