GOMBAK, 28 May 2024: In conjunction with the educational program, Unleashing Potential: Empowering Students in the Digital Age, organized by Communication internship students, an exhibition was held on Tuesday, 28 May 2024 at the Human Sciences building. This exhibition was held to enhance the students’ knowledge of the digital world. Several organizations took part such as SKEM Driving Academy, Ebdesk Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Pandai Education, TheNoor, Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia (CMCF) and Karangkraf Sdn Bhd.
These organizations mostly aimed to promote their digital platforms to the students as well as fulfil the event’s objective which was to enhance digital literacy among IIUM students. The main sponsor of the event was SKEM Driving Academy.
SKEM Driving Academy is a driving school that offers driving classes and arranges for driving tests for the purpose of getting a driver’s licence. It offers various driving courses for different types of licences. The driving school is also equipped with professional instructors that assist individuals in the process of getting a license. It operates every day except Friday, from 8.30am to 5pm.
The academy is located in Kuala Lumpur where thousands of students have successfully obtained their driving licences. It is one of the esteemed driving academies with hundreds of positive testimonials from its students. Apart from that, specifically for the digital literacy event, SKEM offered a special package for the IIUM community which was a discount of up to RM500 and a registration fee for RM100. They also offered free transportation for the students from their places to the academy.
This special package was only applicable to those who registered at their booth on the event day. Students had the chance to get their driver’s licence at a lower price through the special package which was greatly beneficial for them especially for those who did not have a licence yet.
Aside from that, as the main sponsor of the event, SKEM hoped that this event could allow more opportunities for the students to indulge themselves in the digital world as well as be able to achieve optimal digital literacy including skills and knowledge in the ever-changing digital world. Through this sponsorship, Communication internship students were able to execute the event triumphantly and this event was a stepping stone for the internship students before they enter the working world. In addition, they hoped that this event could sustain a positive relationship between the IIUM and SKEM Driving Academy in future.
