The Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) has teamed-up with online recruitment company JobStreet.com, Malaysia''s Internet Company of the Year, for its July 2003 student''s recruitment intake. The two parties are collaborating to source the best candidates with the minds and hearts willing to take on a challenging post-graduate research programme and build a successful career or business with true entrepreneurial verve.

As part of this arrangement, JobStreet.com has created a special page for its members to log on and submit other details to facilitate immediate processing to find out if they qualify for the post-graduate Masters of Science programmes offered at MUST, including various opportunities for tuition fees sponsorship.

The programmes offered are in five dynamic areas of Science: Master of Science in Information Technology, Master of Science in Biotechnology, Master of Science in Transportation and Logistics, Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering and Master of Science in Construction Engineering and Management.

Dzulkifly Mohd Zain, MUST Vice-President, Operations, says: As a new university focusing on post-graduate science and technology programmes, we intend to generate increasing interest and commitment among younger Malaysians to build a career in research and development. There are many prospects open to those trained in R&D and involved in application-oriented research.

According to JobStreet.com''s Vice-President of Operations, Suresh Thiru, JobStreet.com currently has over a 100,000 Science and Technology professionals in our database. The programme with MUST is the first of its kind, an innovative initiative where it is also very much in line with our commitment to bring more value-added services to our jobseekers and help them to achieve their long-term career goals.

As Malaysia progresses into a full-fledged knowledge economy, our success as an industrialised country will rely heavily upon the availability of a talented pool of workers well-versed in mathematics, science, and technology. We are also very proud to partner with MUST as lately, we have measured increased demand for science and technology professionals with not only a recognised, but a top-notch quality post-graduate qualification from the many blue-chip clients we are recruiting for.
