City University recently engaged in a pivotal discussion with Jabatan Penjara Malaysia (JPM) to explore a strategic partnership aimed at advancing education, skills training, and career opportunities. This collaboration seeks to create meaningful pathways for both JPM staff and individuals under its care, fostering lifelong learning and professional growth.
As an institution committed to industry-driven education, City University Malaysia recognizes the importance of equipping individuals with practical knowledge and skills that enhance employability. Through this partnership, CityU aims to introduce work-based learning programs, accreditation of prior learning, and customised courses that align with JPM’s objectives. These initiatives will not only benefit JPM staff but also open doors for individuals looking to rebuild their lives through education and structured career development.
Beyond academic qualifications, CityU is exploring the implementation of Corporate Smart Internships, linking JPM’s prospects with industry partners to facilitate job placements and hands-on experience. Additionally, a tailored employment scheme could be designed to support successful reintegration into society, ensuring sustainable career pathways.
This collaboration between City University Malaysia and Jabatan Penjara Malaysia represents more than just an educational initiative; it is a commitment to transformation, empowerment, and long-term societal impact. By combining expertise in academia and industry partnerships, this alliance has the potential to redefine rehabilitation efforts and contribute to a skilled, inclusive workforce.
