Official 2026 List of Malaysia’s Top Employers as Voted by University Students
The Graduates’ Choice Award (GCA) presents the Graduates’ Choice of Employer To Work For in 2026, an official list of Malaysia’s most preferred employers, determined entirely by university students across the nation. This list reflects genuine student sentiment and serves as a trusted reference for graduates planning their first career steps.
Over the years, the GCA has accumulated more than 700,000 student votes, making it one of Malaysia’s largest and most reliable indicators of employer attractiveness. Each year, undergraduates share their preferences for companies they believe offer strong career development, supportive cultures, and meaningful growth opportunities. These collective insights highlight the organisations that consistently stand out in the eyes of future talent.
The Graduates’ Choice of Employer To Work For in 2026 recognises leading employers across major industries, including Accounting & Professional Services, Automotive, E-Commerce, Electronics, FMCG, GLCs, Pharmaceutical, Retail, Telecommunications, and many more. Every employer featured here has earned its place through the confidence of students nationwide.
Since 2018, the GCA has been widely regarded as a trusted student-driven benchmark. For students, it provides a straightforward way to identify reputable employers and plan career applications. For universities and industry, it offers valuable insight into what the next generation looks for in a workplace.
All results are based solely on votes from Malaysian undergraduates, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and fairness.
The GCA is organised by Talentbank, a career discovery platform focused on helping students build career readiness and connect with employers who value young talent.
