Successful applicants will have their tuition fees for the programs fully borne by the scholarship.

“It gives me great pleasure to see the culmination of the close collaboration between the state government of Selangor and CARSOME Academy, the Biasiswa TVET Selangor specifically for students enrolled in CARSOME Academy. This is in line with the overall target of the government to establish close collaborations with both private corporations and government-linked companies this year. This program with financial support of RM250,000 support from the Selangor State Government, aims to assist those who need help pursuing their TVET courses at CARSOME Academy,” shared YAB Dato’ Sri Amirudin Bin Shari, Selangor Menteri Besar, who was represented at the event by YB, Tuan Ng Sze Han, Selangor State Exco for Public Transport, Local Govt, and New Village Development

“The technicians we train today will need to be upskilled in areas of technology and equipped with problem solving and communication skills.  Today, we have showcased a new teaching approach that ensures our students are industry ready,” explained Teoh Jiun Ee, CARSOME co-founder and CEO of CARSOME Academy.

“Our approach is primarily student-centred and incorporates the latest technology. Hence, we have introduced Virtual Reality (VR) as a technological learning experience in the academy. VR has the potential to transform the way we learn and teach by offering immersive, interactive experiences that can enhance students' engagement, motivation, and understanding of complex concepts,” added Teoh.

In conjunction with the scholarships, CARSOME Academy has also launched a branded short film to drive for student registrations. The short film revolves around an individual CARSOME Academy student taking on the role of an everyday hero that’s selfless and willing to go beyond the call of duty for others.

It showcases the positive traits expected from the academy graduate and to encourage them to believe that there’s no limit to life with their TVET qualifications in the automotive industry.
