The Resource Centre in the campus houses four academic laboratories, two teaching laboratories, two multimedia language laboratories, one consultation room and an internet laboratory. The auditorium boasts a capacity of 1,400 and features state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. In addition, the Hospitality Management Block has incorporated hotel rooms, baking and pastry kitchens, an eastern and western kitchen, a front desk office training counter and a laundry room to ensure immersive learning for students of the Hospitality Management programmes. There is also a restaurant that is open to the public to provide students with hands-on training in food service management. Not neglecting soft skills development among students, the Student Centre provides opportunities to sharpen students’ leadership and interpersonal skills.

Besides facilities which enrich academic pursuit, the campus also offers ample sports and recreational facilities to encourage the pursuit of an active and healthy lifestyle. Students can participate in indoor and outdoor recreational activities such as football, basketball, tennis, netball, volleyball, badminton, carom, table tennis, chess, darts and many others. In addition, the Clubhouse complex houses a multi-purpose hall, cafeteria, gymnasium, squash courts and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Accommodation is readily available at the

residential areas surrounding the campus

where students can go fishing at nearby

fishing ponds, take leisure evening walks

and bicycle rides. The natural surroundings

of the campus are suitable for academic and

social pursuits as it creates a conducive study

environment while providing respite and a

place for sporting games among students.

Kampar is a mid-sized town that is divided

into the old and new town area. Just a

45-minute drive from Ipoh, the old town area

gives a taste of typical small town living at its

best and is 10 minutes’ walk from the new

town area. Kampar is known for its delicious

signature food, especially the chicken biscuits

and “chicken bread”.

Student Development & Career Guidance

Introduction

Student Development and Career Guidance (SDCG) is a part of Department of Student Affairs, that offers uniquely designed life programmes that are central to a student’s personal and career growth. One of SDCG specially crafted programme is called “Leadership Excellence Programme”. It takes on an activity base approach that provide important tools and skills for student leaders. This programme comes with number of enticing camps, activities and workshops which helps to mould the students to become a leader with distinctive quality. “Your Leadership DNA’ camp is part of the programme. It gives students the tools necessary to attain true leadership quality. And in tandem with the ever changing environment, a programme called ‘The Road to Excellence’ has been designed to enhance students’ resiliency and learning agility. Together, SDCG, in partnership with the Counselling Services and Professional Life Coaches conduct awareness campaigns, workshops, talks and seminars. Hence, SDCG offers a wide range of services designed to meet the existing students’ needs and will evolve continually according to time. The services provided are in these areas:

• Student Development & Career Resource Centre • Leadership Camp & Skills Training • Purpose & Motivations• Career Explorations

In order for students to gain concrete knowledge and experience on their developmental growth, there is a need of tests tools. Tests tools will be promoted throughout the year. This is the first step to self-exploration, discovering of values, developing strength/potentials, basic understanding of weaknesses and identifying innate skills.

We have qualified student counsellors that are ready to do a free basic assessment test with students. From the free basic tests, students will be recommended to take more in-depth tests to ascertain the results of their

assessments or attend workshops (e.g. Leadership Skills, Living Your Best Life, etc) that will be conducted by licensed trainers or facilitators and a subsequent follow-up programme.

One of the very practical ways to see the developmental stages of a student is ENACTUS TAR-UC. ENACTUS is a very unique platform that students can use to develop themselves by helping the communities that are in need. As a result of these projects, each student can develop their personal excellence and achievement. (Enactus TAR-UC Facebook)

Career Services

Another part of students’ development processes is the career development of students. SDCG works closely with the Career Guidance Society (CGS) to organize Career Development Workshops & Talks throughout the semester to help students to be aware of present day industries’ requirements. The Career development workshops are conducted by counselors, recruitment firms and professional organizations who would guide students in the identification of skills, interests, values and how to make appropriate career decisions with confidence and maximize their employability opportunities. Some of the Career Talks or Workshops that will be conducted by Student Development and Career Guidance throughout the semesters are:

• Company Talks• Living Your Best Life Workship• Personality, Goal Setting & Career Profiling Workshops• Resume Writing & Interviewing Skills Workshops• Career Decision Making• Career Fairs
