We were delighted to welcome around 20 participants to our recent webinar Empowering Student Success with Kinobi – Driving Social Impact through AI, featuring Mr. Hafiz Kasman, Co‑Founder and CEO of Kinobi AI.
During the session, Hafiz shared insights into the challenges faced by higher education institutions and graduates today, including students struggling with meaningful employment, limited access to personalised career guidance, and increasing pressure on universities to demonstrate employability outcomes and return on investment in education.
Hafiz introduced Kinobi’s AI‑driven career management platform, which supports students throughout their entire career journey — from assessment and development to job search, internships, employment, and beyond. By transforming career services into a data‑centric, outcomes‑based ecosystem, the platform enables institutions to streamline career support, enhance reporting, and better connect education with employability. Hafiz demonstrated features such as the AI‑powered career portal and resume scoring.
The sharing also highlighted Kinobi’s collaboration with institutions in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, including a local case where an AI‑powered Career Management & Life Planning Portal was implemented to support approximately 5,000 students, resulting in improved career readiness and operational efficiency at scale.
In addition, Hafiz discussed potential research and collaboration opportunities, including studies on the effectiveness of university career services and exploring automated internship management and career‑related initiatives within higher education and beyond.
