Mohd Azraai Kassim1, Siti Maftuhah Damio2, Abdul Rahman Omar3.
The workforce of today and tomorrow, particularly graduates are likely to experience more challenges as the availability of permanent jobs are getting sparse. This is partly due to automatisation as well as technological development. However, with automatisation and technological development, new types of occupations have emerged, mainly related to freelance, short term contracts and part time. These kinds of employmentareknown as Gig Economy, a term made popular during the 2008 –2009 economic crisis. To prepare undergraduates for their future occupations, it is vital to embed the aspects of gig economy in the syllabus. Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), an entity that has been entrusted to train bumiputera undergraduates and graduates have taken some notions of gig economy, theoretical as well as practice in the teaching and learning process. Nonetheless, more is still needed to strengthen the implementation of gig economy in higher institutions to align it with the nation’s Shared Prosperity Vision 2030.
