Kota Kinabalu, November 26, 2022 – Jesselton University College (JUC) has joined forces with Ride Runner, a leading delivery service provider, funded by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) through Perkeso, to empower students with income-generating opportunities. Through this collaboration, students can now earn RM600 per month for a duration of 6 months, allowing them to manage their financial needs more effectively.

By participating in the program, students can earn a steady income through on-demand delivery and assistance services, enabling them to develop essential entrepreneurial and customer service skills while engaging in the gig economy.
The services offered by Ride Runner extend beyond traditional delivery tasks. The runners are also available to assist with queuing at counters for various services such as banking, JPJ, or postal services, saving valuable time and effort for the students.
As part of its broader commitment to student well-being and economic empowerment, JUC continuously explores innovative solutions that support student success beyond the classroom. The university recognizes the challenges many students face in financing their education and aims to create sustainable, student-friendly financial solutions that enhance both academic and professional growth.
