PETALING JAYA, Selangor, Aug 24 (Bernama) — Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), is targeting 5,000 participating companies from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing, manufacturing related services, agriculture, and services sectors to join the MyReskill IoT Programme. The programme is a brainchild of Electrical and Electronics Productivity Nexus (EEPN) in collaboration with Machinery and Equipment Productivity Nexus (MEPN) and Digital Productivity Nexus (DPN) established under Malaysia Productivity Blueprint (MPB).
SMEs will need to possess high-skilled workers to harness the power of technology to significantly improve their productivity. Furthermore, adaptable and flexible workforce will also be the critical keys to successful digital transformation. Dato’ Abdul Latif Haji Abu Seman, Director General of MPC said “Malaysia has recently performed well in adaptability and flexibility indicator, as indicated in World Competitiveness Yearbook 2021. It reflects that our current talent has become more flexible and adaptive when facing with new challenges, so it is the right time for us to introduce this programme”.
