It’s my duty to pledge our support on this initiative as this is our mission too. We stay focussed and committed to resolving the unemployment issues in Brunei and to encourage our youth to enter the world of entrepreneurship.”
A representative of the graduates, Syahwan Dani bin Yahya, thanked the lecturers at CCCT for their support.
The Best Student awardee from HND in Business said, “I am grateful for being part of the ‘be job ready workshop’ – work study programme for HND students, where we learnt practical real life industry skills.
