Employability rate
This postgraduate education certificate supports graduate pathways into education roles, but the UNIRAZAK programme page does not publish specific Malaysia employability and unemployment percentages for graduates of this qualification.
As a result, you should treat employability outcomes as strongly dependent on your teaching readiness, practicum experience, and the hiring needs of local schools and education centres.
