Picture this: You’re 55, retired early, and the sun-drenched beaches just aren’t cutting it anymore. The daily sudoku routine feels more like a mental nap, and that quietude that was once blissful is now deafening. The fire of your ambition still flickers, but the traditional workforce seems like a distant galaxy.
But hold on, there’s a new starburst of opportunity blazing on the horizon. Forget boring board games and endless reruns – ISE Education offers a launchpad for reinvention, fueling your passions with flexible jobs for retirees like you.
Think of it as trading in your hammock for a training module, guiding the next generation of bakers, beauticians, and fashion designers. Imagine the thrill of knowledge transfer, the pride in watching your trainees flourish, and the satisfaction of leaving a lasting legacy on Malaysia’s skilled workforce.
The numbers speak for themselves: Malaysia’s skills training sector is booming, with over 100,000 individuals enrolling in programs in 2022 (Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) Annual Report 2022). This demand translates to a gaping need for qualified trainers and assessors, a gap that retirees/early retirees like you are perfectly positioned to fill.
And the beauty? You don’t need decades of corporate grind to join the party. ISE welcomes experienced professionals of all ages, whether you’re a seasoned accountant or a manager in the hospitality industry who has retired@early retirement.
Here’s how ISE ignites your second act:
- Flexible Trainer Roles: Equip yourself with a National Competency Standard (NCS) – Train-the-Trainer (TTT) certificate and become the architect of future-proof skills. Craft training modules, mentor aspiring professionals, and witness their “aha!” moments – all on your own schedule.
- Assess and Verify with Confidence: Become a PP-PPT* (Pegawai Penilai-Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu) and assess experienced candidate’s portfolio (of evidence) or a PPL* (Pegawai Pengesah Luaran) and verify the quality of training programs or student’s final assessments. Both roles offer flexible hours and the satisfaction of ensuring Malaysia’s skills development stays top-notch.
* Appointment of PP-PPT & PPL is subject to additional requirements such as:
- Minimum 10 years experience in the program to be assessed/verified
- Minimum SKM3
- PP-PPT induction cert
- PPL induction cert (+PP-PPD-PPB induction cert for PPL-SLaPB or + SLDN induction cert for PPL-SLDN)
Remember, retirement/early retirement isn’t a dead end – it’s a detour to a hidden oasis. Embrace the flexible work arrangements, say goodbye to rigid office hours, and rediscover the joy of work without the stress.
So, dust off your resume, sharpen your skills, and chart your course. This isn’t just about a job – it’s about igniting your passions, contributing to your nation, and proving that retirement is just the beginning of the most exciting chapter.
