KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad (PAMB) and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to help soon-to-be graduates in business and finance studies kick-start their career journey.

PAMB said the MoU was signed by its chief executive officer Lim Eng Seong and UTAR president Prof Datuk Dr Ewe Hong Tat.

"Additionally, the partnership will also provide the students internship opportunities at PAMB’s corporate office and its insurance agencies nationwide," it said in a statement today.

According to the statement, about 40 students from UTAR Kampar Campus were in attendance to witness the event and they also had the opportunity to immerse themselves in PAMB’s Youth Financial Educational programme that promotes financial literacy among young adults.

Meanwhile, Lim said the MoU with UTAR signified its shared commitment to empower students with the tools they need to confidently step into the world and start building their careers.

“This year we are celebrating our 100th anniversary in Malaysia, so it is fitting that we look towards the future to inspire the next generation as they enter the workforce,” he said.

Ewe said the significance of industry-academia collaboration cannot be overstated.

“It is a symbiotic relationship where academia provides expertise, research capabilities, and a talent pool, while industry offers practical insights, challenges, and opportunities for application.

“Together, we form a robust ecosystem that fosters innovation, addresses societal needs, and drives economic progress,” he added.
