IN the fast-paced world of business, education and upskilling are essential. According to the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), only 30% of the country’s workforce has attained tertiary education, making it crucial for adult learners to upgrade their skills and knowledge.
SEGi’s Adult Learners Programmes provide unprecedented, innovative access to working adults from various backgrounds and qualifications.
With over 45 years of experience delivering adult learners programmes, thousands of working adults have passed through SEGi’s doors.
The institution knows adult learning is more than just putting a group of adults in a classroom. It is about customising to working adults’ needs, reframing old perspectives, expanding networks and horizons, and unlocking new possibilities.
SEGi offers different programmes under APEL, designed for working adults who do not meet formal academic qualification requirements.
APEL.A uses prior work and learning experience as access, while APEL.C uses previous work and learning experience as credits to shorten the study duration. APEL.Q, meanwhile, converts prior work and learning experience into recognised qualifications.
SEGi’s Adult Learners Programmes also offer relevant and practical curriculum designed with practicality and instant application, ensuring that working adults can apply theories and knowledge to their work life as they progress.
The institution’s academics come from the industry, which means working adults can get inspired and mentored by academics who are also industry experts.
SEGi’s academics are active researchers, consultants, and professionals in their respective specialisations, offering a wealth of practical knowledge to optimise the learning experience.
Working adults can #ReachHigher faster by applying theories and knowledge to their work life as they progress.
