Call Grows for Integration of Skill Acquisition in Curriculum.

As unemployment challenges persist nationwide, UNIMAID students are increasingly recognizing the importance of practical skills. The university community has welcomed this trend, with many lecturers commending students for balancing academics with vocational pursuits.
