SEGi College Penang has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Zoewebs Sdn Bhd, a premier website design and digital marketing agency, to elevate digital skills among students and align with global sustainable development priorities. This partnership, celebrated in a recent ceremony, underscores SEGi’s commitment to equipping students with hands-on experience and industry-relevant skills, preparing them for a competitive digital landscape.
SEGi’s Department of Information Technology will benefit from the expertise of Zoewebs, which boasts over 17 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 1,000 websites. With a client list that includes top names such as Suzuki, Sharp, and the National University of Singapore, Zoewebs brings practical know-how to SEGi students, who will gain invaluable insights into website design, digital marketing, and e-commerce solutions. This partnership aligns with Malaysia’s goal of becoming a regional leader in digital innovation, contributing to the country’s booming digital economy, which reached RM320 billion in 2023 (Source: Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation).
Through specialised workshops, internships, and curriculum enhancements, SEGi’s IT and Digital Marketing students will receive training tailored to meet industry demands. As digital transformation accelerates globally, SEGi’s proactive approach to integrating these skills into the classroom ensures graduates are well-prepared to contribute to the workforce. This initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4, which advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education, and SDG 9, which promotes industry innovation and infrastructure.
With digital skills becoming essential for employability, SEGi’s collaboration with Zoewebs empowers students to develop capabilities that are increasingly in demand. According to UNESCO, digital literacy is critical to sustainable development, with the global digital economy expected to reach $11.5 trillion by 2025. By offering real-world training opportunities, SEGi and Zoewebs are fostering a new generation of skilled professionals who are ready to make an impact.
This partnership not only enhances SEGi’s educational offerings but also reinforces the college’s reputation for fostering industry-relevant skills. Through initiatives like this, SEGi aims to contribute meaningfully to Malaysia’s digital future, ensuring its students are equipped to thrive in an evolving job market. The MOU between SEGi and Zoewebs exemplifies a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and quality education, setting a high standard for collaboration in Malaysia’s education sector.
