KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) --Skills Johor has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC) to collaborate on completing the Industry 4.0 value chain and to support the industry needs in Johor.
The upshot in the strategic tie-up is that Skills Johor will be able to receive a boost with the appointment of PSDC's top industry professionals who will be sharing their industry knowledge with the dedicated team of Skills Johor.
Under the collaboration plan, committees will be appointed to represent both sides to discuss and draft new industry-driven technical programmes, including vocational and soft skills programmes and to explore ways to bridge the skills gap that exists in the current market.
The MoU was signed on July 28 by Skills Johor executive director, Datuk Omar Shariff Mydeen and PSDC chief executive officer, Muhamed Ali Hajah Mydin, and witnessed by Penang Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yew.
Datuk Omar Shariff said: "PSDC is the leading TVET expert in Industry 4.0. The collaboration will see Skills Johor play a larger role in providing training related to Industry 4.0, which is changing how people live, work, play and communicate.
"Therefore, it is vital to prepare the current and future workforce in Johor and Malaysia in general, to be ready for this change."
Skills Johor is the first technical and vocational skills training hub in Malaysia. Its objective is to improve the employability and entrepreneurship of Malaysians through quality TVET, relevant to current and emerging market and industry needs. It serves as a platform to provide and develop a suitably skilled workforce for the nation.
