More than 40 universities were recognised at the Graduate Employability Awards 2026 at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, with the Deputy Minister of Higher Education as Guest of Honour. The awards draw on the Talentbank Graduate Employability Index, an employer-driven benchmark built on university ratings that began in 2021.

For Journalists

Writing about employability?

We are glad to comment on graduate hiring, employability and the state of the job market, and we can usually share figures from our own research on request. Our CEO, Ben Ho, gives interviews when his diary allows, and much of it is committed to ministry and university engagements, so earlier notice helps.
