Looking at current developments, job opportunities are no longer focused solely on those who excel academically, but skills-based fields are becoming increasingly important and must also be mastered.

Currently, the graduate employability rate among these students has reached 97 per cent,” he added. -- BERNAMA

Malaysia Strengthens EV and New Energy Talent Development Through Malaysia-China Forum

KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 — Malaysia is intensifying efforts to strengthen talent development in the electric vehicle (EV), battery and new energy industries as the country positions itself as a key regional player in the rapidly evolving green technology sector. Speaking at the “Malaysia-China Forum on EV, Battery and New Energy Talent Development and Innovation” at the Asia School of Business (ASB) in Kuala Lumpur, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the National TVET Council Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the world is moving swiftly towards a future driven by technology, artificial intelligence, digitalisation and the transition to clean and sustainable energy. He stressed that Malaysia must not remain merely an observer in these industrial changes, but instead emerge as a major player in the development of the EV, battery and new energy ecosystem in the region. According to him, the strengthening of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) remains a key priority, as the future of the industry depends heavily on the nation’s ability to produce skilled workers, engineers, technologists and a future-ready younger generation. During the forum, Zahid also welcomed the establishment of the “Green and Smart Mobility Cooperation Platform” as well as the launch of the “Flagship EV Talent Programme”, which aims to develop 10,000 skilled workers over the next five years through close collaboration between industry players and TVET institutions.
