TalentCorp works with leading employers who are passionate about investing in young graduates through:

1. Raising awareness of employer branding among students, particularly in IPTAs*

Industry Engagement Zone (Ind-E-Zone)

  • Designed to be a dedicated area within university campuses, Ind-E-Zone is a one-stop career information centre which will connect students to industry-relevant content and educate them on internship and career opportunities within Malaysia’s key industries.
  • The centre also offers a range of activities such as industry engagements, networking sessions, career talks (C-Talks) and sharing sessions to help young Malaysian talent secure a career of choice.

  • During the Breakfast with CEO Series, students are given the opportunity to engage and learn via question and answer sessions with some of the nation’s most influential corporate leaders.

2. Connecting employers to select group of students for internship and recruitment purposes

MY ASEAN internship

  • A collaboration between the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and TalentCorp to increase awareness of Asean among youth in Malaysia.
  • High achieving Malaysian students in public and private universities in Malaysia and abroad will get the opportunity to do internships with leading Malaysian employers at various Asean locations, while Asean students in Malaysian universities will be able to intern in Malaysia.

Sector Focused Career Fair (SFCF)

  • A collaborative effort between TalentCorp and local universities, the SFCF is an industry-specific career fair, which focuses on employment and internship opportunities in Malaysia’s top economic sectors.
  • Both participating companies and universities gain from SFCFs as these fairs provide opportunities for employers to reach out to undergraduates from specific sectors across various campus.

New Wine, Old Wineskins: The Real Reason AI Isn't Working for Your Business

Why are so many companies investing heavily in AI, yet still struggling to see real productivity gains? Roshan Thiran explores the powerful metaphor of Jesus Christ “new wine in old wineskins” and applies it to one of the biggest business challenges of our time: AI transformation. AI is the new wine. It is powerful, fast, expanding, and full of potential. But many organisations are still trying to pour it into old wineskins: outdated business models, rigid structures, broken workflows, slow approval systems, legacy KPIs, and cultures built for control rather than learning. That is why AI adoption alone does not guarantee transformation. The real question is not, “Do we have AI tools?” The real question is, “Have we redesigned the organisation to hold the power of AI?” In this video, Roshan unpacks why the AI productivity paradox exists and how leaders can rethink four critical organisational wineskins: 1. Business Model: Are we using AI to create new value or just reduce cost? 2. Structure: Are we organised around silos or outcomes? 3. Processes: Are we automating broken workflows or redesigning work end-to-end? 4. Culture: Are we rewarding experimentation, trust, learning, and voice, or still rewarding busyness and control? The message is simple: AI is not exposing a technology gap. It is exposing an organisational design gap. The new wine is already here. Now leaders must build the wineskins that can hold it.
