Selangor, Malaysia \u2014 Youth development is the foundation of a nation\u2019s capacity building
and long-term sustainability. In line with this national priority, Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS),
in strategic partnership with DHS Hospitality Academy Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiary Akademi
Hospitaliti Daya Siswa (ADHS), is set to launch the BELIA GENERASI Program\u2014a bold,
industry-driven initiative designed to empower Selangor youths while strengthening the
state\u2019s tourism and hospitality workforce.
The BELIA GENERASI Program is a pragmatic and inclusive initiative targeting youths who have
completed SPM or UEC, as well as those who left school early due to family or socioeconomic
commitments. The program provides structured training, direct industry exposure, and
assured employment pathways, enabling participants to transition confidently into
sustainable careers within the hospitality and tourism sectors.
This initiative reflects UIS\u2019s strong commitment to human capital development, economic
resilience, and social stability. By equipping youths with industry-relevant skills and clear
career pathways, the program actively addresses youth unemployment while steering young
people away from social issues linked to joblessness and disengagement. DHS plays a pivotal role as a progressive and impact-driven industry partner, bringing its
proven Workforce Development Model that integrates training, certification, financial
allowances, accommodation support, and guaranteed placement. As part of the initiative,
McDonald\u2019s Malaysia\u2014UIS\u2019s strategic industry partner\u2014is directly involved, offering
participants employment opportunities upon completion of the program. Participants may
also progress into DHS\u2019s 12-month Skill Career Program (SKI-CAP) or Hotel Internship
Placement Program, both of which provide monthly allowances and fully sponsored
certification fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BELIA GENERASI Program goes beyond skills training\u2014it is a nation-building platform,\u201d
said a representative of the partnership. \u201cIt develops disciplined, employable, and industryready youths while creating a reliable talent pipeline to support Selangor\u2019s growing tourism
and hospitality industry.\u201d
UIS\u2019s leadership in this initiative underscores its role as an institution that extends beyond
academic excellence to actively shape society, uplift communities, and support economic
development. Together, UIS and DHS demonstrate how education\u2013industry collaboration,
when driven by purpose and inclusivity, can deliver lasting impact.
BELIA GENERASI is not just about developing youth\u2014it is about building Selangor\u2019s future
workforce and strengthening Malaysia\u2019s national capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
