Malaysian energy giant, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, are giving students sponsored by their foundation, Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (YTN - Tenaga Nasional Foundation), the opportunity to help with the company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. According to a news report, YTN Director, Azman Zakaria, said this is to expose students to the practicalities of  what they have learnt, particularly in corporate social science.

Bernama also reports that the CSR programme will also help create awareness in CSR so that the students will develop to be more responsible and sensitive to social matters. This programme is said to train the students to think critically and innovatively towards the needs of the society.

The CSR programme is based on the concept of serving the commuity's education development. The students would be given the freedom to draw up the programme's implementation and its contents. Azman is reported to have said that this would make the students more creative, apart from being innovative in achieving the goals of the programme in an optimum and economic manner, and utilising a prudent budget.

Since 1993, YTN has funded the tertiary education of 8,820 students, to the tune exceeding RM500 million. The foundation is currently funding 2,050 students at institutions of higher learning in Malaysia, as well as abroad.
