TVET Master Perspective

The Malaysian semiconductor industry boasts impressive growth and global recognition. However, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Liew Chin Tong recently highlighted some crucial challenges hindering further advancement:

Low-skilled labor dependence and automation resistance: Many companies, particularly SMEs, rely heavily on foreign workers and hesitate to embrace automation. This dependence limits productivity and technological leapfrogging.
Domestic talent drain: Salary disparities with neighboring countries, like Singapore, entice skilled engineers and technicians to cross borders, weakening the local talent pool.
Systemic underpaid workforce: The median manufacturing wage falls short of the national average, making STEM careers financially unattractive for young Malaysians. This discourages investment in STEM education and vocational training, exacerbating the talent shortage.

So, how does Malaysia go about balancing automation and talent challenges?

TVET Master Insight

Balancing automation and talent challenges in Malaysia’s semiconductor industry is not easy. Nevertheless, below are some key insights.

Bridging the skills gap: Implementing robust TVET programs focused on automation, precision engineering, and advanced semiconductor processes can create a competent local workforce, reducing reliance on foreign workers.
Enhancing industry-academia collaboration: Partnerships between TVET institutions and semiconductor companies can tailor training programs to meet industry needs and ensure graduates possess the relevant skills. Academy in Industry (Aii) could be the answer in addressing challenges in developing local talents.
Promoting attractive STEM careers: Addressing the salary disparity is crucial. Government incentives, tax breaks, and scholarship programs for STEM students can increase the appeal of these careers.
Strengthening TVET infrastructure: Upgrading equipment, facilities, and curriculum in TVET institutions is essential to ensure graduates are equipped with the latest technological knowledge and practical skills.

The Road Ahead:

Malaysia’s ambitious National Industrial Master Plan 2030 aims to double the median manufacturing wage, from the current RM2,205 per month (2022) to RM4,510 per month by the year 2030. a positive step towards attracting and retaining talent. By actively addressing the automation, talent drain, and wage challenges, the country can harness the full potential of its semiconductor industry and establish itself as a global leader in high-tech manufacturing.

Note: If your company is not in semiconductor industry but wants to explore on upskilling or reskilling your current or future employees, you may want to explore on National Dual Training System too.

News on Academy in Industry (AiL)

KUALA LUMPUR, AUGUST 1 — The Malaysian government is backing the Academy in Industry (AiL) pilot project with a generous RM4,000 monthly incentive for trainees, aiming to boost the appeal of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as an attractive alternative to traditional tertiary education.

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli revealed that the government has allocated RM40 million to support the initial batch of the AiL programme and plans to attract up to 10,000 trainees by year-end.

The 18-month AiL programme offers trainees a total incentive of RM4,000, making it an appealing option for those seeking early earnings and technical certifications. Participants will receive RM2,000 per month during the program, along with relocation allowances, cash incentives for job retention for nine months, and a final cash bonus upon certification.

The incentive structure is strategically designed to encourage trainees to complete their training and stay committed to their jobs, ensuring financial support for their career development.

Rafizi emphasized that the programme addresses the financial burden that previously deterred many school leavers from joining the manufacturing and technical sectors, as it offers assistance with relocation expenses and financial support for house rentals and essential needs.

The AiL initiative aims to significantly contribute to the productivity growth target outlined in the 12th Malaysia Plan, with an expected annual growth rate of 3.6% and a 40% increase in workers’ compensation by 2025.

As part of the scheme’s goals, up to 1,000 companies will be accredited for workforce skill improvement, with a focus on reskilling and upskilling efforts.

During the launch, Rafizi announced that around 200 international manufacturing companies have already joined the programme, which aims to implement labor market reforms and provide opportunities for youths to be trained as highly skilled workers.

Highlighting the significance of obtaining technical certifications through TVET, Rafizi mentioned that graduates of the 18-month programme will be certified in their skills by the age of 19, setting them apart from peers pursuing traditional university education.

The pilot project’s success will dictate funding adjustments in subsequent years, with the potential to accommodate more participants and expand the initiative.

“We can also hope that many more workers will join, and we will adjust the funding accordingly starting next year,” Rafizi added, expressing optimism for the programme’s growth and positive impact on the workforce.

Tukang gunting rambut rayu tarik balik larangan ambilan pekerja asing untuk mengisi kekosongan industri

March 16, 2023TVET & Vocational Training - Malaysian News, TVET/Skills coursesNational Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS), NOSS, Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia, SKM (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia), Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaan, tukang gunting rambutadmin

Pemilik kedai gunting rambut di Malaysia sedang menghadapi kesukaran untuk mencari pekerja mahir kerana pembekuan ambilan sementara pekerja asing oleh kerajaan. Persatuan Pemilik Gaya Rambut Salun India Malaysia (Mindas) menganggap keputusan ini menjejaskan perniagaan mereka dan memohon agar mereka dibenarkan mengambil pekerja asing seperti perniagaan lain.

Namun, kerajaan masih belum memberikan keputusan yang memuaskan kepada Mindas. Mereka mengusulkan untuk membawa masuk tukang gunting rambut tempatan melalui persatuan dan usaha sama dengan pihak lain, tetapi sambutan daripada warga tempatan tidak begitu baik.

Menurut Meenaq Kumar, penolong Setiausaha Mindas, warga tempatan kurang minat dengan bidang gunting rambut, dan mereka yang menamatkan kursus tukang gunting rambut cenderung membuka kedai sendiri daripada bekerja dengan orang lain. Kekurangan pekerja mahir ini menyebabkan sekurang-kurangnya 1,600 kekosongan dalam kalangan ahli Mindas.

Kumaran Gunasegaran, pemilik 10 kedai gunting rambut di Lembah Klang, menyatakan bahawa banyak perniagaannya terjejas kerana tidak dapat mencari pekerja mahir. Walaupun telah banyak mencuba untuk menggaji warga tempatan, kebanyakan dari mereka tidak muncul selepas sehari bekerja tanpa memberi notis.

Mindas dan pemilik kedai gunting rambut lain merayu kepada kerajaan agar diberikan pengecualian dalam pembekuan ambilan pekerja asing bagi memastikan kelangsungan perniagaan mereka. Mereka juga menggesa kerajaan untuk membantu membina kemahiran pekerja tempatan dalam bidang gunting rambut untuk mengisi kekosongan pekerja mahir.

Sekiranya kekosongan ini tidak segera diisi, industri gunting rambut akan terjejas dan lebih ramai pekerja akan kehilangan pekerjaan. Kerajaan perlu mengambil tindakan yang bijak dan adil bagi mempertahankan industri ini dan menjamin kestabilan ekonomi dalam jangka masa panjang.

Komen: Isunya adalah warga tempatan tidak minat kerja sebagai tukang gunting rambut ke gaji tidak setimpal dengan beban kerja?

Sebab menurut penolong setiausaha Mindas, pelatih yang menamat kursus gunting rambut cenderung membuka kedai sendiri (ataupun kerja secara freelance).

Adakah ini bermaksud ada ruang lagi untuk pusat latihan kemahiran menawarkan kursus tukang gunting rambut, sebaiknya berdasarkan pada Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaa@NOSS?

Dengan itu, Pusat Latihan Kemahiran boleh dapat pentauliahan program daripada Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) dan pelatih bukan sahaja dapat latihan kemahiran sebagai tukang gunting rambut tetapi juga pensijilan yang diiktiraf oleh negara dan juga banyak lagi negara lain, iaitu Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia.

Blackpink Concert in Malaysia: A Showcase of TVET Skills

March 4, 2023TVET & Vocational Training - Malaysian NewsBlackpink, Blackpink concert in Malaysia, National Dual Training System, NDTS, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), TVETadmin

Blackpink, the world-famous K-pop girl group, is holding a concert in Malaysia tonight at Bukit Jalil stadium, expected to thrill thousands of fans with their catchy songs, dazzling choreography, and stunning visuals. But behind the glitz and glamour of the stage, there’s also a story of how TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) played a crucial role in making the concert a success. In this article, we’ll explore how TVET skills are essential in the entertainment industry and how Malaysia is investing in TVET to empower its youth and boost its economy.

First, let’s look at some facts about Blackpink and their concert in Malaysia. Blackpink is a South Korean girl group formed in 2016, consisting of four members: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. They have gained worldwide popularity with their catchy songs such as “Kill This Love,” “How You Like That,” and “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” as well as their unique fashion and dance style. In January 2019, they became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, a music festival in the US. Their concert in Malaysia, held on February 23, 2019, at Malawati Indoor Stadium, Shah Alam, was part of their “In Your Area” world tour, which also included other Asian cities such as Bangkok, Jakarta, and Hong Kong.

Now, let’s see how TVET skills are involved in the making of such a high-profile concert. TVET refers to education and training that focuses on acquiring practical skills and knowledge for a specific job or career, usually in the technical, mechanical, electrical, or service sectors. In the entertainment industry, TVET skills are essential for various roles, such as sound and lighting technicians, stagehands, carpenters, electricians, riggers, camera operators, makeup artists, costume designers, and many others. Without TVET-trained professionals, it would be impossible to set up and run a concert of Blackpink’s scale and complexity.

For example, the stage design and construction require TVET skills such as welding, carpentry, and metalworking. The lighting and sound systems involve TVET skills such as electrical engineering, audiovisual technology, and digital programming. The visual effects and pyrotechnics involve TVET skills such as 3D animation, motion graphics, and special effects. The logistics and security involve TVET skills such as crowd management, first aid, and emergency response. All these skills require not only technical knowledge but also creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, which are also taught in TVET programs.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that Malaysia, like many other countries, is investing in TVET to develop its human capital and competitiveness. The Malaysian government has set a target of achieving 50% TVET enrolment among secondary school leavers by 2025, up from the current 38%. It has also established various TVET institutions and programs, such as the National Dual Training System (NDTS) or commonly known as Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional (SLDN), the Malaysia Technical University Network (MTUN), and the Skills Development Fund Corporation (SDC), to provide training and certification for TVET skills. Furthermore, Malaysia has hosted various international events and competitions, such as the ASEAN Skills Competition and the National TVET Youth Skills Day, to showcase its TVET excellence and innovation.

In conclusion, the Blackpink concert in Malaysia is not only a testament to the group’s talent and popularity but also to the TVET skills and efforts behind the scenes. By highlighting the importance of TVET skills in the entertainment industry, we can inspire more young people to pursue TVET careers and contribute to the growth of their countries’ economies.

Carsome Academy Supports Malaysia’s Tech and Human Capital Ecosystem

February 27, 2023TVET & Vocational Training - Malaysian NewsCarsome Academy, Department of Skills Development, human capital, National Dual Training System, NDTS, Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional, SLDNadmin

Carsome, a leading CAR e-commerce platform, is strengthening Malaysia’s tech and human capital ecosystem through its Carsome Academy’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) offerings. Jiun Ee Teoh, the CEO of Carsome Academy, expressed excitement in contributing the company’s knowledge and experience towards creating high-quality jobs and opportunities that will make Malaysia more attractive to world-class talents.

Carsome Academy was established to meet the industry’s demand for skilled automotive talents and create positive social impact in local communities. The CEO believes that the government’s efforts to elevate TVET institutions, like Carsome Academy, is a solid opportunity for Malaysian youths to upskill and build a brighter future.

V. Sivakumar, the Human Resources Minister, praised Carsome’s achievements as Malaysia’s first ‘tech unicorn’ and credited their effort to digitalize the vehicle purchasing process for creating new job and business opportunities. He also lauded Carsome Academy for providing opportunities for the country’s youth to acquire skills in the automotive sector and complimented the academy’s efforts in line with the government’s effort to elevate TVET institutions in the country.

Carsome Academy, a National Dual Training System (Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional — SLDN) training center accredited by the Department of Skills Development under the Human Resources Ministry, was established in January 2021 to offer Malaysian youths technical education and increase their employability. The academy has since expanded to Thailand and Indonesia, and it is an accredited center in both countries.

Academy in Factory (AiF) – The Future of Manufacturing Training in Malaysia

Academy in Factory (AiF) is a relatively new concept in Malaysia, aimed at bridging the gap between academic learning and industry training. It is a training program that combines classroom learning with hands-on experience in a factory setting. This unique approach to education is gaining popularity in Malaysia, as it provides a more practical and relevant approach to learning.

The AiF program was first introduced in Malaysia in 2016, as a collaboration between the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). The program aims to help young people acquire the skills they need to succeed in the manufacturing industry, which is a key driver of Malaysia’s economy.

The Academy in Factory program will offer as many as 300,000 job opportunities by 2025 across high-impact sectors such as the electrical and electronics (E&E), automotive, chemical and advanced materials as well as life sciences and medical technology subsectors to youth across the country.

Under the newly announced Budget 2023, there’s a RM5.3 million funding for AiF

It involves more than 25 companies/factories in sectors such as chemicals, life sciences & medical technology, semiconductors and automation.

One of the main benefits of the AiF program is that it allows students to gain practical experience in a real-world factory setting. This experience is crucial for students who want to pursue a career in the manufacturing industry, as it gives them a better understanding of the day-to-day operations of a factory. Students also have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and learn the latest manufacturing techniques.

The AiF program is designed to be a comprehensive training program that covers all aspects of manufacturing, including production, quality control, and logistics. The program is divided into two phases, with the first phase focusing on classroom learning and the second phase on hands-on training in a factory setting.

During the classroom phase, students learn the theoretical concepts and principles of manufacturing. They also learn about the latest technology and equipment used in manufacturing, as well as industry best practices. In the second phase, students apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios in a factory setting. They work alongside experienced factory workers and gain valuable experience in production, quality control, and logistics.

The AiF program is open to students from a variety of backgrounds, including school leavers, technical college graduates, and even experienced workers who want to upskill or reskill. The program is also suitable for those who are looking to start their own manufacturing business, as it provides them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

In addition to providing practical training, the AiF program also helps students develop important soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. These skills are essential in any industry, and the AiF program aims to develop well-rounded individuals who are ready to succeed in the manufacturing industry.

The AiF program has been well-received in Malaysia, with many students and employers praising its effectiveness. The program has helped to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry training, providing students with a more practical and relevant approach to education. As Malaysia continues to develop its manufacturing industry, the AiF program is likely to play an increasingly important role in developing the next generation of skilled workers.
