Collaborating for change
In line with our view that collaboration creates change, TalentCorp engaged in a number of initiatives last year.
Around October 2018, we worked with MOHR and the Jabatan Tenaga Manusia to develop TVET talent and improve graduate employability through Nurturing EXpert Talent (NEXT), a national talent analytics platform that acquires and analyses data about the quality and ability of the Malaysian workforce. Then, in November, we had a talent coaching session with Institut Latihan Perindustrian’s career counsellors and representatives, with the aim of guiding them to better understand NEXT and assist in equipping students with the necessary skillsets for the Future of Work.
In March 2018, we also worked with InvestKL and the Ministry of Higher Education to launch the Malaysia Global Talent (MGT) programme with the aim to nurture 5,500 global Malaysian leaders by 2022. In the first phase of MGT, 12 top global MNCs and 10 public universities will collaborate to select, mentor and nurture Malaysia’s most promising talents.
We believe that all the initiatives above will pave the way for a more dynamic workforce that will be able to meet the demands of the Future of Work.
TalentCorp looks forward to working with the public and private sectors in 2019 to ensure that all organisations in Malaysia continue to change the way we work in Malaysia for the betterment of the country. It is our hope as well that more organisations will embrace WLPs at work, thus creating a safe and productive environment for all Malaysians to work in.
