Succinct Explanation of GCA
The Graduates’ Choice Award (GCA) recognises the employers Malaysian university students most want to work for. The results are decided by student votes.
Detailed Explanation of GCA
Since 2018, the Graduates’ Choice Award (GCA) has asked Malaysian university students a simple question: which employer do you want to work for? Their votes alone decide the results.
The results are checked by the Board of Audit Members, career services practitioners from Malaysian universities, before they are published. There is no application and no entry fee, and winning is free. With Talentbank as its Secretariat, the award gives students a clear, independent view of the employers their peers value.
