SCHOLARSHIP TALENT ATTRACTION AND RETENTION

Fulfill Your Bond

Did you know that as a JPA scholar, you can serve your bond in the private sector?

Ordinarily, JPA scholars are required to serve their bond in the public sector. However, all that has changed since the introduction of STAR, a joint initiative between the Public Service Department (JPA) and us. Now, JPA scholars can serve their government bond in the private sector as well.

Through the Scholarship Talent Attraction and Retention (STAR) programme, you get to work with one of the many reputable STAR employers in Malaysia. At the same time, you will also fulfil your federal scholarship bond without getting recalled by the government.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?

If you would like to join STAR, you must fulfil the minimum criteria:

You are a Public Service Department (JPA) scholar who graduated in 2010 and thereafter
