SMD Semiconductor calls on young talents to explore careers in chip design at TRACE 2025
KUCHING: Sarawak's homegrown semiconductor company, SMD Semiconductor, is calling on the next generation of talents to explore exciting career opportunities in chip design by visiting its booth at the upcoming Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) Talent Recruitment and Career Exhibition (TRACE) 2025. The event will take place on June 17 and 18 at the UNIMAS Kota Samarahan campus. In a statement today, SMD chief executive officer Shariman Jamil said the company is actively seeking Sarawakian talents and aims to showcase the real-world impact of a career in chip design — a field that goes far beyond technical work. 'Chip designers are behind the technologies that power smartphones, electric vehicles, medical devices, and smart homes. With strong global demand, this industry offers long-term job stability, competitive salaries, and the satisfaction of seeing your innovations come to life,' he said. Shariman added that SMD provides multiple pathways for local graduates, from internships to full-time career placements, in areas such as chip design, semiconductor engineering, and AI development. He highlighted the company's flagship Semiconductor Mastery Programme, a six-month specialised training course focused on Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) Design and IC Test Solution Development Engineering. The programme is run in collaboration with several key partners, including the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development Sarawak (MEITD), Melexis NV, a Belgium-based global semiconductor supplier, X-Fab Sarawak, a German semiconductor foundry, and the Centre for Technology Excellence Sarawak (CENTEXS). In addition, SMD works closely with local universities to deliver advanced training and education, including a postgraduate microelectronics programme in collaboration with Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak. 'At our booth, visitors will be able to meet industry professionals, submit their CVs directly, and explore opportunities to join our team or enrol in specialised training at the SMD Academy, which is focused on preparing Sarawakians for high-value careers in the digital industry,' he said. Shariman noted that SMD's participation in TRACE 2025 aligns with Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg's vision to position the state as a regional high-value semiconductor hub by 2030. 'In line with this aspiration, SMD is championing sustainable innovation, circular economy practices, and advanced chip packaging. We are laying the foundation for long-term economic growth, research breakthroughs, and job creation in AI, automotive technologies, and integrated chip design,' he said. TRACE is Sarawak's largest career fair and is expected to attract over 80 companies and more than 15,000 visitors this year.

Carlsberg's Million-Ringgit Investment In Malaysia's Rising Stars
Subscribe to our FREE 333 Malaysian students just got the news of their lives. Carlsberg Malaysia dropped a million-ringgit thunderbolt of hope, transforming 'maybe someday' dreams into 'starting now' realities. This isn't your typical corporate handout – it's a masterclass in empowerment that's turning classroom warriors into tomorrow's leaders. Meet Caleb Sawing Thomas, a culinary student from Kuching, whose kitchen prowess has just been supercharged. 'This support from Carlsberg Malaysia and Huazong is truly life-changing,' he says. His mission? Master the culinary arts and cook up positive change in his community. Hustle Seen, Dreams Backed: The Nationwide Roll Call Rolling through Malaysia's diverse landscape, the initiative hits differently. 73 future gamechangers from KL and Selangor, 27 from Penang's pearl shores, 24 from Sarawak's mighty heartland – each number represents dreams taking flight. This isn't random generosity; it's precision-guided empowerment spanning every Malaysian state. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) student Kirtina Muniandy breaks it down real: 'Receiving this education fund is a form of affirmation and encouragement.' Her words echo through lecture halls and study rooms where thousands of students push through late-night study sessions, wondering if anyone notices their hustle. Well, someone did.

(Pix: Carlsberg Malaysia) No Strings Attached: Turning Dreams into Degrees Pearl Lai, rocking the Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Director chair at Carlsberg, keeps it straight: 'Education continues to be a gateway to brighter, more equitable future.' The company made a power move in 2021, transforming what were once interest-free loans into scholarships. No catches, no fine print – just pure runway for talent to take off. Over at Polytechnic Kuching, Sarawak, Angeline Tan's story also hits differently. 'Seeing my mother's sacrifices has always driven me,' she shares, her dream of becoming an accountant now backed by more than just hope. It reminds me that opportunities are real if we keep striving. Pure truth from the trenches of transformation. Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers: A 25-Year Legacy of Educational Empowerment Since '98, this Carlsberg-Huazong partnership has been the silent force behind nearly 1,500 success stories. For B40 and M40 households, where higher education often feels like a luxury, this RM3 million initiative, which has been supporting 999 students since 2021, isn't just opening doors – it's building bridges to possibilities that once seemed out of reach. Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima (Dr) Goh Tuan Chuan, Huazong's President, drops the mic with this truth bomb. Education is a powerful tool for societal transformation. And that's exactly what's happening here – one scholarship, one student, one success story at a time.
