Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (14 April 2026) – HELP University is proud to announce its participation and recognition at the Talentbank Graduate Employability Awards & Raya Open House 2026, held at the Four Seasons Hotel, KLCC on 11 April 2026.

The recognition was conferred under the Talentbank Graduate Employability Index (GE Index) 2026, an employer-led benchmark that evaluates graduate employability based on national employer survey insights and workforce readiness indicators.

The GE Index assesses graduate outcomes through key indicators such as employer demand, hiring confidence, and workplace readiness, offering a complementary perspective to global university rankings. Built on insights gathered from thousands of employers nationwide across organisations of varying sizes and sectors, the Index reflects real hiring preferences and industry expectations.

Employers are surveyed on their preferred universities for recruitment, hiring volumes, and their willingness to rehire graduates from the same institutions. To ensure continued relevance and credibility, the methodology and survey instruments are reviewed and validated every two years in consultation with policymakers.

Representing HELP University at the event were:

Eric Bryan, Senior Director, Industry Partnerships and Talent Development Sydnede Lim, Head of CAREERsense Thiyagu Sevellingam, Deputy Manager, CAREERsense

The award was officially received by Professor Dr Liew Teik Kooi (Andy), Vice-Chancellor of HELP University, in recognition of the institution’s strong standing in graduate employability, as reflected by employer feedback nationwide.

This recognition underscores HELP University’s continued commitment to producing industry-ready graduates equipped with the skills, mindset, and adaptability required in today’s evolving workforce. Through strong industry partnerships, career development initiatives, and a focus on real-world readiness, HELP remains dedicated to empowering students for meaningful and sustainable career success.
