Empowering 25, 000 Malaysians with digital skills


Socso chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman (pic) said the reskilling and upskilling of the Malaysian workforce, especially those affected by Covid-19, are essential to empower them either to compete in the demanding job market of today as well as embrace and find success in the digital economy.

PETALING JAYA: Microsoft Malaysia, the Social Security Organisation (Socso) and Junior Achievement (JA) Malaysia, which is a youth-serving non-governmental organisation, have forged a partnership to upskill some 25, 000 Malaysians, targeting graduates and unemployed individuals, through the Digital Skills for Tomorrow’s Jobs programme.

The programme is in support of the government’s MyDigital and National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) policy.

“The joint initiative aims to reach 25, 000 Malaysians through online webinars on digital skills and data science, based on Microsoft’s industry and training resources, ” they said in a joint statement.
