Malaysia Airlines and UCSI forge partnership to develop future talents

MALAYSIA Airlines Bhd (MAB) and UCSI Group have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to build a robust talent ecosystem by enhancing the skills and capabilities of the workforce for greater economic development of the country.

The MoU was signed between the UCSI Group CEO and vice-chancellor of UCSI University Professor Datuk Dr Siti Hamisah Tapsir and MAB Group chief marketing and customer experience officer Lau Yin May at UCSI University in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

This collaboration will see both Malaysia Airlines and UCSI Group working together on areas such as students’ placement, academic information and knowledge exchange as well as development of joint research projects.

Meanwhile, employees of Malaysia Airlines will be able to take advantage of self-development programmes to further their studies.

In addition, Malaysia Airlines will be the official airline partner of UCSI Group, thus allowing its students to gain access to the benefits of MHexplorer, a programme specially designed for students.

At the same time, students of USCI University can also leverage the airline’s Travel and Lifestyle Loyalty Programme, Enrich, to pay tuition fees and at the same time earn points when they pay with cash or card.

Additionally, competitive conversion rate for redemption of Enrich Points will also be offered for UCSI Hospital medical screening packages.

“I am confident that our academics who are at the forefront of their respective fields will be able to provide impactful insights to drive growth for MAB,” commented UCSI University’s Siti Hamisah.

“Likewise, UCSI is also set to grow its students by providing a one-of-kind experiential learning with this world-leading airline.”

Meanwhile, MAB Group’s Lau said the national carrier and its sister companies in the Malaysia aviation group play a role that expands beyond just providing aviation services such as proactively supporting Malaysia’s human capital development, preparing future-ready talents and building a pipeline of innovators to serve the aviation or travel industry.

“This collaboration marks another milestone in the airline’s commitment towards the nation’s education system through its various signature enhanced offerings, including the MHexplorer – the world’s first digitalised student travel programme and Enrich, the Travel and Lifestyle Loyalty Programme of Malaysia Airlines and MHbiz Pro, the airline’s corporate travel program benefits to UCSI as our corporate partner.” — Nov 24, 2021
