Our proposed “Prep2Earn” package achieves two outcomes. The first key outcome is to providea an EQ profile for each student so that a suitable industry and profession can be identified to ensure a successful career and working life. For this a psychometric assessment is carried out and an individual, personalised report is produced.

The second outcome is to ascertain the students competencies in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking using the English language as the medium of communication. A specialised designed series of tests, including an oral interview, is carried out.

From these two components, a comprehensive report is prepared for each student providing guidance on the EQ profiles and their current command of the English Language. From this the “Prep2Earn” package will provide a pathway with suggested education and training programmes which shall prepare the student for the chosen career, employment and a successful working life ahead.

The “Prep2Earn” package shall provide unique assessment and training programmes and solutions to the desired target groups as required by the Client SCICOM will also ensures that the objectives of the individuals are achieved and that target student groups are trained and certified to meet the demands of the Malaysian government and local and global industry.

The Prep2Earn or P2E package consists of:

:SCICOM Softskills Programme
:The SAGE English Programme and
:BPO@Work

The P2E:
The P2E package provides a comprehensive series of professional enhancement courses that provides the student with tools and skills to enter and start-up confidently in their new employment and/or career.

The student will Gain self-awareness regarding their preferred behaviours , develop strategies to remove emotional blind spots and understand behaviours and motivations of others better, leading to be a team player when required.

From the assessment, SCICOM will provide the following:
1. Short-listing candidates for a position requiring certain preferred behaviors.
2. Coaching candidates designated for certain promotion positions in which new people skills may be required.
3. Develop a profile of their EQ in relation to their potential for employment.
4. Intervention strategies can then be given so that team members can use them to improve intra-team and inter-team communication. Emotional blind spots of individual members can also be revealed in the feedback session to the individual.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information and influence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) emerges not merely from intellectual rationalization, but from the workings of the human heart. EQ requires that we learn to acknowledge and value feelings in ourselves and others – that we appropriately respond to them, effectively applying the information and energy of emotions in our daily life and work. It is Emotional Intelligence that motivates us to pursue our unique potential and purpose, and activates our innermost values and aspirations, transforming them from things we think about to how we live.

 -Decisiveness
 -Interpersonal Sensitivity
 -Influencing and Persuasion abilities

The SCICOM Softskills Programme and the SAGE-English course has been specially designed for undergraduates who are in their final semester. Together, this provides them with the necessary English language and business communication and personal management competencies to prepare them for the workplace in a wide variety of jobs.

Although the SAGE-English course has been proposed for the undergraduate and graduate trainee groups, the proposal is to ensure all potential students have the basic English language competencies. A SAGE Placement Test shall be conducted for all those planning to join this project. To undertake any of the proposed programmes, a minimum band score for the SAGE Placement Test is required.

SCICOM Soft Skills Programme:

The Scicom Soft Skills Program for undergraduates and fresh graduates is a learner-centric, 12-day program, designed to deliver the critical skills needed to enter, stay in and progress in the world of work – be it in an organization or being self-employed.

This 12-day Scicom Soft Skills program provides the foundation for key skills and competencies that are needed in today’s workplace and those that are valued by employers when they recruit graduates.

Participants in this program will learn how to improve their communication skills through two programs namely Interpersonal Skills and Presentation Skills.

Logical Reasoning and Innovation & Creativity programs will provide insights into thinking and problem solving while the Team Building and Self-Empowerment program will identify the importance of collaborating with team members and provide participants with strategies for personal development and career growth.
