Bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world digital innovation, the Faculty of Business and Accountancy at SEGi recently organised an educational trip to CENTEXS Santubong for 20 students enrolled in the E-Commerce subject. This initiative exposed students from the Diploma in Business Administration (DIBA) and Diploma in Accountancy (DOA) programmes to the cutting-edge tools and technologies driving today’s digital economy.
CENTEXS, a state-established technical and digital training centre under Yayasan Sarawak, plays a critical role in upskilling Malaysia’s workforce in high-impact sectors such as digital tech, green energy, hospitality, and advanced infrastructure. During the visit, students explored how technologies like 5G networks, fibre optics, augmented reality (AR), and cloud computing are transforming the way businesses operate—turning classroom concepts into tangible industry applications.
The learning experience offered students a rare chance to witness how e-commerce strategies are executed using real digital infrastructure. With global e-commerce sales projected to hit USD 8.1 trillion by 2026, the visit underscored the importance of digital fluency and technological adaptability for business graduates entering a competitive workforce.
SEGi College Sarawak acknowledges the importance of exposing students to innovation ecosystems that align with Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda. By understanding how emerging technologies are adopted and scaled in real-time, students are better prepared to thrive in Industry 4.0 environments—especially as digitalisation continues to redefine how businesses deliver value and grow sustainably.
The Faculty of Business and Accountancy extended its sincere appreciation to CENTEXS Santubong, especially Assistant Manager Soffian Ibrahim, for facilitating this immersive learning opportunity. Initiatives like this reflect the faculty’s commitment to nurturing forward-thinking, tech-savvy graduates who are not only industry-ready but innovation-driven.
This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 4: Quality Education
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
