Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba said the professional training and certification were included under the Digital Transformation Programme to be launched by MIMOS in June to select talents among local ICT-based companies.

Dr Adham said the MoU enabled both parties to work together to develop a technology skills programme that could improve digital expertise among the local workforce.

He said the capability, expertise and collaboration between MIMOS and Huawei Malaysia would enhance skills and sustainable competitiveness among Malaysians.

Dr Adham said the effort was also in line with the JaminKerja Keluarga Malaysia initiative mandated to MOSTI to create 5,000 job opportunities in the field of deeptech and futureskills.

The Upskilling for Deeptech and Futureskills training programme is an initiative to help the industry get employees with competent skills as well as develop employee capacity through exposure to the real needs of the industry.

Dr Adham said the programme, among others, aimed at helping Malaysians, especially those who had lost their source of income, to generate a stable income and have the opportunity to improve their skills.
