00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 A market survey recently released shows that there are too many college graduates in China who have high degrees but low salaries.
00:14 And the survey also pointed out that the salary of more than 60% of college graduates in Malaysia is less than RMB 2,000.
00:21 High degrees but low salaries. Is this the transition period that every newbie in the workplace must go through?
00:28 Or is it because of the low salary that the ability and market demand of college students are not matched?
00:34 According to a survey published by the National Institute of Archaeology and Mining Research, KRI yesterday,
00:38 the survey report of the "Professional Development Map for the Development of the Great Malaysia Technology Talent" pointed out that
00:43 in the past 30 years, the number of students in high education in China has increased from more than 40,000 in 1980 to 1.2 million in 2020,
00:53 which is nearly 26 times. However, these college students do not seem to meet market demand.
01:00 The survey pointed out that many college graduates have too high degrees in the current job market.
01:06 Due to the lack of work that matches their degrees, they can only be forced to do low-paying or low-skilled work.
01:13 The report pointed out that only about 60% of graduates have found a job that matches their degrees and skills.
01:21 The other 40% of graduates are currently working in a job that is too high in degrees and skills and work mismatch.
01:32 The report also pointed out that too high degrees and skills do not match,
01:36 which is one of the reasons why the number of college graduates has been constantly increasing in the past 10 years.
01:42 In 2021, the starting salary of 65.6% of graduates is less than RM2000, and only 10.8% of graduates earn more than RM3000.
01:54 We also see the mismatch of the new graduate jobs.
02:01 For example, those who get a graduate job or a job that requires a high degree of education are only 60%.
02:10 The salary is less impressive because the salary growth for new graduates is not impressive.
02:20 If we look at the total salary, it is about 60% of graduates who enjoy a salary of RM2000 or less.
02:27 The latest survey by the Institute of National Agricultural Research, KRI, pointed out that
02:31 only about 60% of graduates are currently working in a job that matches their degrees and skills,
02:36 and the mismatch of degrees and jobs is one of the reasons why the starting salary of graduates is low.
02:42 The report pointed out that in 2021, the starting salary of more than 60% of college graduates is still less than RM2000.
02:49 However, for the mismatch of degrees and jobs for college students,
02:52 the Institute of National Agricultural Research, KRI, said during an interview with Astro Avani that
02:56 employers can provide job training courses to make up for the skill gap of graduates.
03:02 Employers often say that our graduates do not meet the industrial standards.
03:08 But I think most of the skill gaps that our graduates face can still be handled,
03:16 especially by helping them to improve their interpersonal skills, technical skills through skills programs, etc.
03:26 The mismatch of degrees and jobs for college students, what is the problem?
03:32 Is the course provided by the university not suitable? Is the course design not in line with market demand?
03:37 The founder of the ZaliHub Vocational Training Center, Yin Yongjing, said during an interview that
03:41 in fact, many college courses will be adjusted with the market changes every few years.
03:47 But especially in the field of technology, because the market changes are really too fast,
03:52 the graduates need some time to adapt and adapt to the actual market operations.
03:59 In the field of AI, you know that the field has been changing very fast.
04:05 Especially the courses provided by the National University of Singapore and the National University of Singapore have been improving.
04:09 So I think if you say that the things that universities are learning now are not much different from their fields,
04:16 the fields are constantly changing, but what universities can learn is the foundation.
04:20 As long as you have good foundation, when you pick up these things that are constantly changing,
04:26 you can actually pick up quite fast.
04:28 So there will always be a little difference from when you graduate to when you return to the field.
04:34 As for the problem of high academic performance but low ambition,
04:37 Yin Yongjing believes that since employers cannot rely on the quality of the paper to test the ability of the graduates,
04:43 whether it really matches the work demand, so the ambition is inevitably low.
04:47 And this is also a path that every newbie in the workplace must go through.
04:51 But as long as you get through this transition period and perform well after you join the company,
04:55 the employer will be willing to pay attention to the talent.
04:59 Why is the ambition low?
05:00 Because a company cannot measure what you can do for the company when you graduate.
05:06 What can you contribute?
05:07 But after a period of time, maybe half a year, you can see that your ability, your work ability is very strong.
05:13 Then the company will give you a chance.
05:15 The same goes for big companies. There must be a transition period.
05:18 So if you say that the ambition is low, I think this is a necessary stage for everyone.
05:23 But this is to train the patience of those graduates.
05:27 If you have passed this stage and you can perform well,
05:32 naturally, your company will appreciate your effort and your salary will increase.
