Many fresh grads are anxious about finding a job, but should they be? Manpower Minister Tan See Leng is urging graduates and parents to “stay calm,” pointing to new figures that show the employment rate for the 2025 university graduating cohort was 51.9% in June, 4 percentage points higher than in June 2024. That suggests the graduate job market may be on sturdier ground than expected, even amid global uncertainty.

So how worried should graduates really be and what can they do to boost their chances? Loh Pui Wah, Independent Business Consultant & Career Coach and Ng Kian Boon, Host of the Red Dot Perspective (YouTube), join the Breakfast Show to unpack the outlook, highlight where opportunities are emerging, and explore how fresh graduates can navigate the current hiring scene.
