Kota Kinabalu, 17 July – Sabah Energy Corporation Sdn Bhd (SEC) officially launched its Skill Enhancement Career Advancement (SECA) 2.0 program and handed over offer letters to eight selected graduates from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sabah, and ADTec Kota Kinabalu.
The event, held at the Mengalong Auditorium, Menara SEC, was officiated by Ir. Ts. Ahmad Jafar, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of SEC, representing CEO Datuk Adzmir Abd Rahman.
Also present to witness the handover ceremony were Associate Professor Rozita @ Uji Mohammed, Rector of UiTM Sabah; Associate Professor Dr. Sidah Idris, Director of the Centre for Development of Career and Entrepreneurship (CeDEC), UMS; and Ir. Sudirman Hammade, Director of ADTec Kota Kinabalu.
Following the successful implementation of SECA 1.0 in 2024, which saw participation from graduates of UMS and ADTec Labuan, SECA 2.0 marks the continuation and expansion of SEC’s CSR initiative to build and empower local talent through structured industrial training.
This year, UiTM Sabah and ADTec Kota Kinabalu joined as new education partners, further broadening the program’s reach and impact. The SECA program specifically targets graduates from B40 and underprivileged backgrounds who have demonstrated strong academic performance but have not yet secured employment. Participants will undergo six months of hands-on industrial training, receive a competitive monthly allowance, and stand a chance to be absorbed into SEC’s workforce upon completion.
In his address, Ir. Ts. Ahmad Jafar reaffirmed SEC’s commitment to youth development and capacity-building in Sabah. “SECA is not just a training platform, instead a launchpad for future careers. We are proud to continue this effort with SECA 2.0 and welcome our new academic collaborators in this journey.”
SEC also expressed its sincere appreciation to its education partners, UMS, UiTM Sabah, and ADTec Kota Kinabalu, for their collaboration in supporting the program’s mission. Plans are underway to expand SECA to more institutions in the coming years, as part of SEC’s broader commitment to shaping a skilled, resilient, and future-ready local workforce.
