Kolej Yayasan Felda Continues To Nurture TVET Talent, 534 Receive Scrolls At 26th Convocation
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- A total of 534 Kolej Yayasan Felda (KYF) graduates from the 2023/2024 session received their scrolls at the 26th KYF Convocation Ceremony held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) here today.
Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the graduates were awarded the Malaysian Skills Diploma and Malaysian Skills Certificate in various fields, including Food Preparation and Manufacturing Services, Pastry and Bakery Management, and Administrative Management.
He said this year's convocation ceremony was even more meaningful as it coincided with three national-level mega events held under the Mega 3 Dimensi Carnival (KM3D).
'KM3D is a combination of Felda Settlers Day, the Rural Entrepreneur Carnival, and the One District One Industry Showcase. This highlights the synergy between educational development, entrepreneurship, and the country's rural industrial heritage,' he said after the ceremony.
The event was officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Shabery said that as a skills-oriented educational institution, KYF remains committed to producing competent, competitive and career-ready graduates through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)-based programmes tailored to industry needs and supported by various training initiatives.
'Among the training offered are full-time programmes at KYF, the Academy in Industry Programme in collaboration with industry partners, the Certification Programme through Recognition of Prior Achievement, and the Modular Programme for various segments of society.
'This effort reflects Yayasan Felda's commitment to expanding access to skills education for all groups, including school leavers, youth and experienced individuals,' he said, adding that 31,633 KYF graduates have entered the workforce across various sectors to date.
He said Felda has, since its inception, served as a catalyst for social mobility and education among rural communities, including through the establishment of KYF.
