According to Professor Datuk Dr Rohana Yusof, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affairs Division) of UM stated that one of the objectives of Career Path 2011 is to help the graduates define their career goals, understand their career options, and market themself effectively. The first step in their job search process will be to determine the type of employment that is right for them.
