Why we do this

A keynote we are glad to give.

Talentbank has spent years listening to employers and following what happens to graduates. At graduation, we would rather give that knowledge back than leave it in a report. So we welcome pro-bono requests to speak at your ceremony, at no fee, as our way of paying it forward to the next generation.

What our speakers bring

Honest, useful, and worth their time.

Real survey results

Not generic motivation. We share honest findings from our research on what employers want and where graduates stand today.

A grounded keynote

Encouraging, but honest about what the working world actually asks of them, and exactly how to meet it.

Inspiration that lasts

A send-off that respects their intelligence, leaves them clear on their next step, and gives them real confidence to take it.

Who it is for

Schools and universities across Malaysia.

Graduation ceremonies, convocations and send-off events for students stepping into work or further study. If you are marking a moment that matters for your graduates, we would be glad to be part of it.

How it works

Three simple steps.

01

Send your request using the form below.

02

We check speaker availability for your date.

03

We confirm a speaker and tailor the talk to your graduates.

A note on pro-bono.

There is no speaking fee, and no honorarium required. This is something we choose to do. Where travel or logistics are involved, we ask only to cover the basic cost, worked out with you simply and fairly.

Part of Pay It Forward

Giving back is why we do this.

These keynotes sit alongside Pay It Forward, the Talentbank Foundation movement that mentors students and graduates at no cost. Speaking pro-bono at your ceremony is one more way we give back.

Tell us a little about your event and we will be in touch about availability. Reach Mavis, our Group Secretary, to arrange it.
