Career options after SPM
Propel yourself
into the World of IT
Gone are the days when one was considered a geek, if one was from the IT indus-
try. In fact, IT has become a desired alternative for many. Times Guides spoke to
Mr. Gurpardeep Singh, who is the Director of Operations from APIIT Malaysia, for
an insight into what the industry holds for local graduates.
What are the popular career options in the

field of IT?
The commonest include:
Software development, encompassing programming, systems design
and development, and software project management.
Infrastructure management, including systems administration,
network design and management and database administration
Web and interactive (multimedia) development
Mobile Computing - mobile systems development and mobile
architectures
Enterprise computing – applications which are closely aligned to
business processes and using ERP tools such as SAP.
What advice would you give to prospective

students who are thinking about careers in IT?
Especially, for SPM students.
Usually, students would be expected to do well in Mathematics or in

a numerical subject. English proficiency is also essential. To enrol for
a Degree programme, students need to achieve at least five credits Technology. Both enable students to develop a broad range of

What is currently the most popular IT course working life.
among Malaysian students?
The most popular IT course is the Bachelor of Science (Hons) Can students complete the programme
in Computing and the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Information
overseas or is it possible to take everything in
Malaysia?
Students can complete the programme entirely in Malaysia.
However, they should ensure that the programme is internationally
benchmarked through rigorous external Quality Assurance processes
and standards.
Other thoughts?
There are tremendous opportunities in the Malaysian IT industry,
which is expected to generate at least 100,000 jobs in the next few
years. However, students must ensure that they choose programmes
which not only emphasise on academic development, but also those
which require them to carry out industry-type projects. This will enable
them to develop strong professional skills.
In addition, as technology evolves very rapidly, students must develop
the ability to “learn how to learn” new skills, and to not be dependent
purely on technologies covered during their programme of study. This
will ensure that they succeed not only in their first jobs, but also in
securing a long-term career in the global IT industry.
