EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT UNIT (EPU)

This unit serves as a one-stop centre for students and prospective employers. The year-long activities include Career Talks, In-house Interview Sessions, Career Fairs and Employment Preparatory Programme. The objective is to build a strong foundation in students for them to be career-ready and well-accepted in the job market.

With the mission to be an ideal and strategic unit within the institution that is engaged and able to provide quality services to students, alumni and prospective career providers alike, EPU offers career-related services with emphasis on enhancing the students’ employability. This is accomplished by exploring career opportunities both in the local and overseas job market.

As of today, the unit has successfully placed graduates within Malaysia and Singapore. The employability rate of graduates is within a range of 80-90%. This is achieved within a period of one year post convocation. Many successful nursing graduates are employed with prominent hospitals in Singapore and other countries.

Our ever-expanding list of prospective employers includes those from the health and medical services sector as well as other industries related to health sciences. At the end of 2011, this list has more than 100 employers from around the country. EPU manages an interactive job portal – MAGiC, specifically catered for AMU graduates in search of employment. In the past year, thousands of job opportunities had been posted via MAGiC for the graduates to select and apply.
