The Partnership

How we partner with you.

Shaped around your institution's goals, in four steps.

01

Listen to Your Goals

We start by understanding your priorities, your students, and the outcomes that matter most to your institution.

02

Co-Design the Programme

Together we shape a plan, from career fairs to employability initiatives, built around your calendar and your students.

03

Connect Students and Employers

We bring our network of employers to your campus and your students into the wider talent community.

04

Measure Outcomes Together

We track engagement and employability, and refine the partnership so it strengthens year on year.

The principles behind it

We assess honestly what we can deliver before we commit. If we take a partnership on, it is because we believe we can move your graduate outcomes.

We speak plainly.

No jargon, no inflated promises. You will always know exactly where you stand.

We under-promise and over-deliver.

We would rather quietly exceed a modest commitment than loudly miss a grand one.

We tell you upfront if we can't help.

If a partnership is not the right fit, we say so honestly, so you can look elsewhere without wasting time. The door stays open for what comes next.

We are in it for the long term.

A programme may end, but the relationship does not. Stay in touch. The best collaborations are often the ones we did not expect.

What is Talentbank Career Passport

The career platform behind your graduates.

Talentbank Career Passport is our career platform, connecting your students to employers in one place. For an institution, its real value is visibility: where your graduates go to work, the salaries they command, and how their careers progress. Outcome data rather than guesswork. Complimentary for partner universities, in Malaysia and beyond.

Placement You Can Evidence

How many of your graduates are employed, where, and how quickly after convocation. The numbers your reports and accreditation reviews ask for.

The Calibre of Employer

Not only whether your graduates are hired, but by whom. See placements across MNCs, GLCs and high-growth firms in our 25,000+ network.

Salary Outcomes

The salaries your graduates command, by field of study, so you can show the return your programmes deliver.

Careers Tracked After Graduation

Progression beyond the first job, promotions and moves included, instead of losing sight of your alumni at convocation.

Complimentary, With No Extra Admin

No licence fees, no maintenance burden, no internal build. Guides, the Graduate Recruitment Handbook and readiness tools sit inside the platform, so your careers team is not carrying it.

Talentbank Career Passport for Universities

Give your students a head start.

Connect your students to Talentbank Career Passport, our career platform. They build career-ready profiles, discover opportunities and reach employers directly, while you gain a clearer view of their outcomes.

We also offer white-labelled partnerships, carrying your institution's name rather than ours, free of charge for partner universities.
