Resin Art Course Opens Income Opportunities For Military Families

SEREMBAN, Aug 23 (Bernama) -- Fifty members of the Armed Forces Family Welfare Association (Bakat) at Sendayan Air Base (PUS) are gaining new creative skills through a Resin Art Course aimed at opening up potential income opportunities.

The course, introduced by the Armed Forces Fund Board Foundation (Yayasan LTAT) under the Military Family Skills Programme (K²T), was held at PUS here yesterday.

In a statement, Yayasan LTAT said the course was introduced for the first time to Bakat members as part of efforts to develop creative skills that could potentially generate income.

The 50 Bakat members from PUS received theoretical and practical training in resin art, including material preparation techniques, pattern creation, resin layering and hands-on product-making methods,” it said.

The Resin Art Course is among the specialised courses introduced under the K²T programme, with training focused on creative skills that have aesthetic value and commercial potential.

Yayasan LTAT said the exposure provided participants with opportunities to develop their abilities by producing creative products that could potentially be turned into entrepreneurial activities and sources of income.

The course, which was also attended by Yayasan LTAT chief executive Datuk Dr Mohd Nizar Sudin, was strengthened through strategic collaboration with the Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education (JPPKK) and Jempol Community College as the training provider.

Yayasan LTAT said it remained committed to strengthening the implementation of the K²T programme by expanding access to value-added skills courses that are relevant to current needs.

The initiative is also in line with Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin’s mandate to enhance the welfare and development of Armed Forces families through initiatives that provide continuous benefits and impact.
