Len, who is also Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (Tegas) chairman, said this year's edition not only brings together educational and career opportunities but also highlights emerging technologies and future-ready fields. Among the key initiatives featured are the Sarawak Blockchain and Crypto Programme, which focuses on Web3 and the digital economy, and the 'CAN-SAT Roketeer Sarawak Challenge' – a rocket and satellite technology competition held in collaboration with UiTM-MTC, Centexs, and Sarawak Skills. 'The technological landscape is evolving rapidly. Sarawak must not be complacent or left behind. 'Our youth need access to knowledge, training and industrial support in order to remain competitive,' he said during the official opening today. The fair also featured an open interview session organised by Social Security Organisation (Perkeso), offering a total of 1,561 job vacancies from over 40 employers across various sectors. SCaT Fair 2025 was further enlivened by activities such as the Youth Icon Speaker's Corner, STEM Playground, skills workshops, the Sultan Iskandar Planetarium Dome experience, and exhibitions by higher learning institutions and training agencies. To ensure rural communities are not left behind, Len announced that the 'Projek Impian Tercapai Roadshow Programme (Pro-DR)' will resume at the end of July, reaching 14 rural locations across Sarawak. The programme aims to deliver direct access to information on education, training, and financial assistance to students and families in the interior. Len expressed hope that SCaT Fair 2025 will continue to serve as a catalyst for positive change and provide young Sarawakians with the tools and opportunities to shape a brighter future. 'I urge our youth to seize every opportunity offered and make SCaT Fair 2025 the starting point for shaping their future,' he said.
