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.

How to be a Qualified Skills Trainer in the Malaysian Skills Certification System

June 16, 2023Kursus Induksi PP-PPD/PP-PPT/PPL, TTT, VTO/I-031-3:2014Coach, Malaysian Skills Certification System, NCS-TTT, NDTS, NDTS Trainer, PP-PPD-PPB, Skills trainer, skills training, Trainer, TVET-i, VTOadmin

What is a Skills Trainer?

A skills trainer is an industry practitioner equipped with certain skills dedicated to helping individuals learn and enhance specific skills. They can be teachers, coaches, mentors, or experts in their respective fields, who impart knowledge and expertise to adults seeking to develop in a particular area. From educational institutions to businesses and online platforms, skills trainers can be found in various settings. By leveraging their expertise, these trainers empower students and employees to strengthen their skill sets, ultimately preparing them for successful careers ahead.

Now, in the context of Malaysian Skills Certification System, a skills trainer is a personnel in an accredited centre that fulfills the requirement and certified by Director General (Ketua Pengarah) to train the students/candidates at the determined accredited centre.

Skills trainer, also commonly called as tenaga pengajar kemahiran in Malay by most, either serve/appointed at SLaPB or NDTS training centres.

* For BM version, kindly read at Tenaga Pengajar Kemahiran

1. Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) Accredited Centre under SLaPB

This is something like an academy/college, where training is 100% institution based.

As a skills trainer, you would be required to teach the students theoretical knowledge & perform practical, all within the institution (read here if you’re interested to set up a Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB )

Your students would be mainly school leavers, with or without SPM. Yes, you didn’t read wrongly, SPM is not needed to pursue a skills course or now popularly known as TVET courses.

There are actually 3 categories of skills trainer in a Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB; namely;

1. Tutor/lecturer/trainer @ Tenaga pengajar (TP)
2. Assesseor @ Pegawai Penilai (PP)
3. Assessor for Modular programs @ Pegawai Penilai Modular (PP-M).

1.1 Tenaga Pengajar

As a TP, your role is just to teach the students, whether it’s theory or practical. You would not be able to assess, hence couldn’t sign & give marks to your students’ portfolio.

To qualify as Tenaga Pengajar, you only need to pass induksi PP-PPD-PPB, besides having working experience and being competent in the program being taught.

1.2 Pegawai Penilai (PP)

As a PP, your role is not just limited to teach but also assess the students in theory and practical.

Every JPK Accredited Centre MUST have this personnel (besides the internal verifier-PPD & centre manager-PPB) as part of the requirement to get program accreditation by JPK. Hence, PP is a VERY critical personnel in any Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB (in my view, the most critical one, despite being at the bottom of the organisation chart).

To qualify as a PP, you need to have:

1. Induksi PP-PPD-PPB certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (usually minimum Level 3)
3. VTO or TVET-i certificate (trainer cert)

1.3 Pegawai Penilai Modular (PP-M)

Just like PP, your role is not just limited to teach but also assess the students in theory and practical. However, as a PP-M, you can only be appointed for Modular programs (as the name suggest),

In JPK’s context, modular@micro credential program refers to micro-qualifications awarded for training programs implemented in a modular manner over a shorter period of time. It is developed based on a Competency Unit (CU) or Work Activity (WA) or a combination of CU or a combination of WA for the specific competence of a National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS).

To qualify as a PP-M, you need to have:

1. Induksi PP-PPD-PPB certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia or Statement of Achievement (PC) for the program to be appointed as PP-M; AND
3. VTO/TVET-i certificate or NCS-TTT (trainer cert)

2. National Dual Training System (NDTS) Training Centre

This is an industrial based training, where 20-30% of training is done at training centre and balance 70-80% is done at workplace.

As a NDTS skills trainer, you are only required to teach theoretical modules in the training centre.

The practical part would be handled by the NDTS coaches at the company/workplace.

Your apprentices would either be the existing or new work force of the NDTS company.

To qualify as a NDTS Trainer, you need to have:

1. Induksi SLDN certificate
2. Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia/Diploma/Degree in relevant field AND 1 year of relevant teaching experience OR qualification in the particular field AND 3 years of relevant teaching experience
3. Passed NDTS Trainer Training Programme (4 days f2f programme)

Enhance Your Skills & Qualifications on the Weekend

Weekend training courses have become increasingly popular in recent years as individuals like you may seek to enhance your skills and knowledge in your chosen field without sacrificing your workweek. This trend has also caught on in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, where institutions such as:

1. Youth and Sports Skills Training Institute (ILKBS) offer weekend training courses to empower youths like you/your children with additional skills.

This programme is held on weekends using a “Do It Yourself” approach and tailored specifically for B40 & M40 groups, as well as at-risk and minority youths and those who are already working aged 40 and below.

2. ISE Education offer weekend induction courses for you to be qualified as centre managers, skills trainers/assessors (PP)/internal verifiers (PPD) & external verifiers (PPL)*.

* Other qualifications maybe required for the various positions stated above (appointed by respective Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran‘s Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB, regardless of government or private)

TVET programs are designed to provide practical training and education for a variety of trades, professions, and vocations. They aim to you with the knowledge, skills, and attitude needed to succeed in your chosen career paths. However, not everyone can commit to full-time training due to work or personal obligations, especially if you have already started working. This is where weekend training courses come in handy.

Weekend training courses offer you the opportunity to pursue your education and training goals outside of regular working hours. These courses are designed to be flexible, convenient, and accessible as you may have commitments during the week. They provide a perfect balance between work, life, and learning.

To sum up, weekend training courses linked to TVET and JPK’s induction courses are an excellent option for you/your children/your employees who are looking to enhance your/their skills, knowledge or qualifications while balancing work and personal commitments. These courses provide you with the practical experience and knowledge or qualifications needed to succeed in your chosen field. Additionally, they offer a flexible, convenient, and accessible learning experience that can help you to achieve your career goals.

5 Perkara Yang Anda Perlu Hentikan Untuk Menjamin Kejayaan Dalam Hidup Anda

Kejayaan Dalam Hidup

Kejayaan dalam hidup tidak datang dengan bergolek tanpa pengorbanan yang tinggi. Banyak artikel yang telah ditulis tentang langkah yang perlu diambil untuk mencapai kejayaan dalam hidup.

Sempena dengan Tahun Baru 2023, di sini min ingin kongsi 7 tabiat yang harus dihentikan untuk mencapai kejayaan dalam hidup.

1. Hentikan penolakan terus

Anda sentiasa diberi cadangan serta idea baru dari orang di keliling anda. Jangan tolak terus cadangan yang diberi, siasat dan buat kajian dulu sebelum menolak idea tersebut.

Contohnya, anda dicadangkan untuk baca buku mengenai teknik pemasaran media sosial, penggunaan Tiktok untuk memasarkan produk/perkhidmatan anda, sebuah projek pelaburan hartanah, strategi pemasaran fizikal (seperti pameran di ekspo).

Anda mungkin pernah dengar/melakukan apa yang dicadangkan tetapi mendapat maklumbalas yang negatif ataupun pernah gagal sebelum ini. Ini tidak seharusnya menghalang anda dari menyiasat dulu apa yg dicadangkan kerana ia mungkin sesuatu yang berlainan daripada apa yang anda pernah cuba.

Manalah tahu strategi pemasaran menggunakan Tiktok ataupun pameran di ekspo mungkin membawa banyak jualan. Tak cuba takkan tahu kan? Cuba dan ukur strategi tersebut, ia mungkin sangat memanfaatkan perniagaan anda ataupun kerjaya anda.

Ini kerana banyak benda berubah dengan cepat, mungkin ada perkembangan terbaru yang anda mungkin belum tahu. Jadi, anda harus ada minda yang terbuka.

Tidak wajib untuk melakukan semua idea yang dibentangkan kepada anda tetapi sekurang-kurangnya kaji dan kenalpasti samada ia sesuai untuk anda ke tidak

Di sini, min juga ingin mencadangkan anda melabur dalam diri anda.

Ikutilah kursus yang dapat menambah ilmu pengetahuan/kemahiran atau persijilan anda supaya berpeluang untuk menjana pendapatan tambahan ataupun mencari kerja dengan lebih senang.

Dalam bulan Januari 2023 sahaja sudah ada 4 jenis kursus yang anda boleh pertimbangkan, sekiranya anda ingin terlibat dalam Sistem Persiijilan Kemahiran Malaysia.

d) Individu yang berminat dalam Sistem Persijilan Kemahiran Malaysia (SPKM) / Individual that is interested with the Malaysia Skills Certification System

2. Berhenti Menyalahkan Pihak Lain

Anda (ataupun selalu dengar ada sesetengah orang) kerap menyalahkan kerajaan, ekonomi tidak baik, ibu bapa tidak kaya … kucingnya dll!

Adakah dengan menyalahkan pihak lain, anda akan mencapai kejayaan dalam hidup?

TIDAK!

Anda bertanggungjawab terhadap situasi hidup anda, tiada siapa pun yang hutang dengan anda.

Untuk mencapai kejayaan dalam kehidupan anda, adalah lebih baik anda mencari jalan penyelesaian kepada masalah anda daripada menyalahkan pihak lain.

Contohnya, jika produk/perkhidmatan anda tidak laris di pasaran, cari apa sebabnya. Cari cara untuk memasarkannya dengan lebih kreatif, tetapkan harga yang kompetitif, beri tambah nilai yang jauh melebihi nilai produk/perkhidmatan anda, dan bukannya hanya salahkan keadaan ekonomi yang tak baik.

3. Hentikan mewajarkan sesuatu @ justifying

Andainya, anda tidak aktif melakukan sesuatu (inactivity) dan anda buat banyak kajian atau cari alasan untuk mewajarkannya,

Anda sepatutnya lakukan apa sahaja yang boleh anda lakukan dan bukan buat yang terbaik sahaja.

Contohnya, anda adalah seorang pengajar sesuatu bidang kemahiran dan anda rasa selain mengajar di tempat kerja sedia ada, anda rasa tidak sesuai untuk melakukan perkara lain, selain mengajar dengan yang terbaik sahaja. Ini adalah tidak benar sama sekali.

Anda boleh pertimbangkan untuk melakukan aktiviti mengambil pelajar untuk pusat latihan/kolej anda supaya kelas anda lebih ramai pelajar dan majikan juga boleh bayar gaji yang lebih tinggi (ataupun komisen) kepada anda kerana kemahiran tambahan anda.

Ataupun sekiranya ada pengalaman >10 tahun dalam bidang kemahiran anda, boleh juga pertimbangkan untuk jadi Pegawai Penilai kaedah PPT (PP-PPT) ATAU Pegawai Pengesah Luaran (PPL) supaya anda dapat menjana pendapatan tambahan (perlu dapatkan kebenaran dari majikan terdahulu).

4. Tindakan yang tidak mencukupi

Mengapa ada yang sangat berjaya, ada yang kurang berjaya? Salah satu faktonya adalah kerana aktiviti/tindakan yang kurang menyebabkan hasil/produktiviti pun kurang.

Sekiranya anda cuma melakukan aktiviti pemasaran 2 kali seminggu (secara fizikal sahaja), berbanding dengan 10 kali seminggu, 5 kali online dan 5 kali fizikal (anggapan bahawa anda lakukannya dengan betul), anda rasa tindakan manakah yang mendatangkan hasil yang lebih besar?

Contohnya, Michael Phelps, perenang yang paling berjaya dengan rekod pingat emas sukan renang Olimpik sebanyak 23! Beliau berlatih sebanyak 6-7 jam sehari, 7 hari seminggu selama 6 tahun, berbanding kebanyakan perenang lain rehat sehari seminggu!

5. Kualiti & kuantiti perhubungan yang rendah

Siapa dan berapa ramai yang anda berkawan/berhubungan boleh menentukan kejayaan dalam hidup anda.

Kualiti kenalan anda amat penting, jangan sekadar berhubungan sebarangan.
Pilih mereka yang juga mempunyai visi serta cita-cita yang tinggi (lebih baik jika lebih tinggi dari anda) supaya boleh memberi motivasi sesama sendiri ataupun memberi bantuan bila diperlukan.

Juga, jangan hanya terhadkan perhubungan anda dengan rakan sekerja tertentu sahaja. Jangan terhadkan hanya berkawan dengan seorang dua.

Sekiranya ada 20 semuanya, kalau boleh, berkawan dengan semua, kalau tidak pun, lebih ramai lebih bagus.

Sama juga jika anda berniaga, kan adalah lebih baik sekiranya anda ada lebih ramai kenalan yang mungkin membeli barangan/perkhidmatan anda berbanding dengan beberapa sahaja?
