It is no secret that the past few months have been challenging — especially for the education community. In the middle of March, schools, colleges and universities closed their doors and quickly adapted to virtual learning. Students of all ages also made the switch to learning from home. On the bright side, education institutions have slowly started to reopen with new standard operating procedures in place. Students will eventually resume their classes in the ‘new normal’ environment. During this scary and uncertain time, it is normal to question the future of your education.
However, now is the time to be aware of the importance of your education and that learning never stops! The fair this weekend is designed to help you plan the next step in your academic life whether it be the pre-university, diploma, certificate, undergraduate or postgraduate route. The fair features leading universities, colleges, and skills-based institutions in Malaysia and abroad. Don’t forget to refer to the Promo Guide for an overview of various financial aid and scholarships offered by the exhibitors as well!

Public health is defined as the science of bettering the health of people and their surrounding communities. This can range from small neighbourhoods to entire countries. The main elements of public health are communication, surveillance, epidemics, disease prevention, analysis, risk, research and health promotion. Professionals in public health strive to research disease and injury prevention, detect and prevent infectious diseases, and promote healthy lifestyles.
Academic PathwayIn Malaysia, Public Health programmes are usually offered at postgraduate level. Individuals can enrol in the many Masters in Public Health programmes available today. A full-time Masters in Public Health programme takes a minimum of one year to complete. Part-time programmes can be completed in two to six years depending on the individual. This programme aims to expand the knowledge of public health and impart skills that will allow individuals to contribute in academic institutions, health services, medical facilities and research.
Generally, Masters in Public Health students will learn about a variety of topics such as emergency medicine, disaster management, community health, anthropology, and sociology of health and illness. Some of the subjects to expect in the programme are Introduction to Public Health, Introduction to Biostatistics, Principles of Epidemiology, Family Health, Occupational and Environmental Health and Healthcare Management. Students will also learn about Research Methodology, International Health Legislation, Sustainable Development and Urban Health, Disaster Response and Management, Health Security, Climate Change and Health, Risk Assessment and Management, Healthcare Financing and Universal Health Coverage.
Job ScopeQualifications in Public Health are beneficial for those thinking of pursuing careers as environmental health practitioners, epidemiologists, health and safety advisers, health improvement practitioners, health visitors, nutritionists and occupational
STUDYINGPUBLICHEALTH
hygienists, among others. Graduates may also find employment as lecturers, researchers and programme managers in the public health field. Professionals in public health mainly work to implement educational programmes, recommend policies, administer services and conduct research in the area of awareness and prevention. This is in contrast to medical professions like doctors and nurses, who focus on curing individuals after they become sick or injured. They also aim to promote quality healthcare that is accessible to everyone.
Individuals Suited for the Programme
Public health is a good area to pursue for individuals already working in medical professions such as doctors, nurses, paramedics, bio-technologists, biomedical personnel, hygienists, environmental engineers, safety and health officers as well as other allied health professionals. This programme is also open to individuals in non-medical professions who are interested in healthcare as a whole and who may be interested in areas such as the development of vaccination programmes, better workplace safety, family planning, and improvements to food and water safety.
Skills Needed Those interested in working in the public health sector need to have good verbal and written communication skills, especially when it comes to developing education programmes and pamphlets, and writing reports. A strong work ethic and the ability to work in a team is also beneficial. In addition, individuals need to be adaptable and flexible as the public health field is always changing and may require unusual work hours. Competent IT and technical skills are also needed for research, data collection and analysis purposes. Other important skills to have include interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills and initiative.
In light of recent events, public health is more relevant than ever and more expertise is needed in the field. Public health professionals work tirelessly to prevent disease and injury and in turn keep people and communities around the world safe and healthy.
Are you interested in improving the health of others? Public Health might be the right field for you!

2020 has been a whirlwind of a year so far due to the presence of Covid-19. The world has been affected in unimaginable ways. Jobs have been lost, companies have closed, people are working from home and the overall global economy suffered. Online learning has become the norm as students and educators rushed to adapt to a new way of teaching and learning. Although schools are slowly reopening and classes are resuming, students and graduates today face a future of volatility and uncertainty. What are some of the useful skills for students to help them navigate this difficult time?
AdaptabilityAdaptability is defined as the ability to adjust to new conditions and environments. Students today may have to rethink their higher education and career pathways. For example, studying abroad may not seem like a feasible option as many international borders remain closed. In addition, students have to be able to adapt to the new way of learning remotely
and digitally. The job market today has also become more competitive as many companies are more selective with the people they hire. Fresh graduates need to be comfortable in ever-evolving workplaces and be open to learning new skills. They also have to keep up with the latest industry news and be ready to face unforeseen challenges.
Tech-SavvinessThe Internet has been a lifesaver for many industries in the Covid-19 era. A number of companies have found ways to sustain their businesses digitally by exploring e-commerce, virtual events and webinars, among others. Students should take the time to do research on the types of digital and IT skills that are in-demand by today’s employers. Generally, social media marketing skills, knowledge in search engine optimisation (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), email campaigns, and managing websites are highly valuable and relevant in the near future.
IMPORTANT SKILLS TO DEVELOP IN THE COVID-19 ERA
Emotional Intelligence Emotionally intelligent people have the ability to understand, manage and express their emotions in a healthy and positive way. Also known as emotional quotient (EQ), individuals with high EQ are increasingly sought after by employers today. This is because these people can communicate effectively and empathise with others to find solutions and solve conflicts.
As change can bring about a lot of stress, having employees with high EQ is comforting during these challenging and uncertain times. It is common nowadays to read news about people losing jobs, getting pay cuts and going on unpaid leave. Therefore, the ability to remain calm, rational and practical during difficult times is a coveted trait by employers.
Critical thinkingIndividuals who can think critically are able to evaluate and analyse information to make well thought out decisions. They are able to
detach themselves from personal opinions and emotions when making decisions and drawing conclusions. In organisations, critical thinkers are needed to make informed choices about how to complete tasks, communicate information and relate with co-workers. Critical thinking is an important skill to hone in both the workplace and life in general. In the past few months, our screens have been bombarded with fake news, unverified information and misrepresentations of data that may have caused anxiety, fear and worry. Critical thinkers know how to filter out fake news and not believe every single thing they read.
Adaptability, tech-savviness, emotional intelligence and critical thinking are some useful skills that all students should develop. Students need to prioritise remaining relevant and alert during the post-Covid-19 recovery phase. It’s important not to be complacent but instead constantly strive to learn valuable skills for self-development in preparation for challenging times ahead.
What skills should students acquire to help them overcome the challenges posed by Covid-19? This article explains.
“Students need to prioritise remaining relevant and alert during the post-Covid-19 recovery phase.”

Attending higher education fairs are a great way to kick-off your higher education journey. You have the opportunity to speak to representatives from many local and overseas education institutions under one roof. Whether you are looking for pre-university, diploma or undergraduate programmes, asking the right questions is important in order to obtain the information you need.
What programmes do you offer?
Remember to ask for a comprehensive list of programmes offered by the institution. Exhibitors will usually have brochures and forms on hand with information on their programmes. Ask for an overview of their faculties and the type of courses they offer. If you are set on a specific course, Foundation in Science for example, make sure to ask about the course overview, duration, intakes and entry requirements. In addition, it is important to know if a particular programme offers internship opportunities and what the career prospects are for graduates of the course.
Do you offer any financial aid or scholarships?
It is no secret that cost plays a major factor in choosing a course or programme. Fees vary greatly depending on the type and field of the programme. For example, diploma programmes will always be cheaper than degree programmes. Determining a budget for your higher education will help you shortlist programmes you can pursue. Do not forget to ask the exhibitors whether they offer any scholarships or financial aid to students. In addition, you can enquire whether the institutions are offering any fee freezes or special instalment plans for their upcoming intakes. A number of exhibitors will offer special discounts and promotions exclusively to fair visitors.
What campus facilities do you offer?
Other than courses and fees, it is also important to ask about the facilities offered at the college or university. Ask the exhibitors
KEY QUESTIONSTO ASK EXHIBITORS AT THE FAIR
if they can share any photos or videos of the facilities. You can find out more about the lecture halls, library, study areas and more. If you need accommodation, you can ask whether it is offered and what the extra costs are. Other questions to ask would be transport facilities and accessibility to and from the campus, food choices and nearby amenities such as malls or banks.
What extracurricular activities
do you offer?Similar to school, being active in extracurricular activities in college or university is important alongside academic qualifications. Therefore, it is good to ask exhibitors if their institutions have any sports, clubs or other activities you can join. You can also ask about outreach programmes, charity drives or competitions that were previously organised by the institution. These activities are a great way to meet students from other faculties and programmes. In addition,
competitions and boot camps will also allow you to network with students from other colleges and universities.
Do you have any upcoming Open Days?
The fair is also a good opportunity to ask exhibitors if they have any upcoming physical and virtual Open Days. The latter has been very popular recently. Students can explore an institution’s offerings from the comfort of their own home by joining virtual campus tours, webinars, Q&A sessions and many more. Attending Open Days is a good way to get a feel of the campus culture before making your decision. At the Open Days, you can also ask about the alumni and where they are now in terms of career prospects.
In addition to attending education fairs and Open Days, it is also important to do your own research when choosing a course. Take your time to visit exhibitors’ websites and social media pages for more information.
This article lists down the important questions to ask exhibitors to make the most out of your fair experience.

Some people study the wrong course and pursue careers that they do not enjoy because they do not fit their personality! According to Holland’s RIASEC codes, there are six personality types which are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Here are some suitable career paths for each personality type.
Realistic Individuals who have this personality type enjoy hands-on work and fixing things. Their skills are best applied to challenges they can see and touch instead of abstract or intellectual ideas. These individuals also have excellent problem-solving skills and love facts and figures. Realistic and practical personality types work best by themselves or with a team with a similar mindset. Some of the career choices these individuals can pursue are engineer, pilot, mechanic and handyman.
Investigative Those who enjoy studying mathematics,
science and IT in school may have investigative and analytical personalities! They love to solve complex mathematical equations and have a passion for computer science and technology. Furthermore, they are careful, accurate and detail-oriented. Investigative and analytical individuals have a gift for understanding theories and memorising formulas, equations and numbers. These individuals will succeed in job positions such as pharmacists, scientists, mathematicians, surveyors and biologists.
Artistic Individuals who have a passion for composing music, writing, drawing, painting and performing are labelled as artistic and creative. They love expressing themselves through their artistic craft. In addition, they also value independence, flexibility and freedom of expression. Artistic and creative individuals dislike doing repetitive tasks where there is no room for imagination. These individuals thrive as actors, musicians, writers, graphic designers, fashion designers, makeup artists and content creators.
THE RIGHT CAREER BASED ON YOUR PERSONALITY
Social Social people are often extroverts who are passionate about communicating with others and helping them. They find purpose and meaning in providing services and caring for others. The individuals also have the ability to empathise with others and find joy in connecting with people. They are fantastic listeners and will do what it takes to fix any problems they face. In addition, they are highly motivated people when it comes to leaving a positive change in a situation or someone’s life. Therefore, the perfect career paths for them are caregivers, nurses, counsellors, social workers and teachers.
EnterprisingIndividuals who have this personality type are sociable, goal-driven and great communicators. They are born to be leaders and will work hard to be the best in whatever they are doing. In addition, they have great managerial skills and have a knack for delegating, negotiating and public speaking. They are passionate about topics such as business, politics, economics and current
affairs. Ambitious and enterprising individuals make successful managers, salespeople, lawyers, real estate agents and insurance agents.
Conventional Individuals with this personality type are able to work independently effectively to complete a task. They are most comfortable when immersed in data, information and numbers. These individuals are skilled in analysis, data interpretation and problem-solving. They are detail-oriented and enjoy a sense of order and organisation. Suitable career choices for these individuals are data analysts, accountants, researchers and computer programmers.
Other than the RIASEC codes, there are a number of personality and career tests you can easily do online to gauge your personality type such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, DiSC and the Hexaco Model. You can also take time to reflect and speak to friends, family members or even your school counsellor for help.
In this article, we suggest some career choices based on Holland’s RIASEC codes.
