KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 -- The Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), through the Electrical and Electronics Productivity Nexus (EEPN), is embarking on the MyReskill IoT (Internet of Things) Programme to assist the industry in productivity improvements through digitalisation.

MPC director-general Datuk Abdul Latif Abu Seman said the programme is significant as digitalisation is no longer an option but a necessity for businesses to survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This programme aims to train and reskill the existing workforce so they will remain relevant to the industry," he said in a statement today.

Abdul Latif said participants will be trained in advanced technical knowledge, involving system setups, dashboard configuration and system interrogation. 

"They will experience a signature element of this programme which is the Proof-of-Concept (POC) project development mechanism, where participants will get hands-on opportunity to apply the technical knowledge they gained to their own projects," he added.

Meanwhile, EEPN chairman Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai said the MyReskill IoT programme is a continuation of EEPN’s End-User Plugfest programme which has successfully helped small and medium-sized enterprises to plan their path in their digitalisation journey. 

"We hope this effort will disprove the perception that digital transformation is costly, cumbersome, and something only big firms can afford,” he said.

The MyReskill IOT programme will begin this September and MPC expects the programme to attract more than 5,000 participants. 

Upon completing the registration and readiness assessment, the participants will undergo five half-day online sessions before proceeding to develop their POC project for another two weeks.
