IT WAS a joyous occasion as 380 employees of Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) Sdn Bhd received their certificates at the Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) convocation ceremony held at Dewan Tun Dr Ismail, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
This event marked the end of their rigourous training, recognising the graduates’ hard work and dedication.
The SKM programme reflected IWK’s dedication to excellence, offering quality education and training to its workforce.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, attended the ceremony and highlighted the importance of professional development.
He presented the certificates to the graduates and emphasised the government’s support for continuous learning and skill enhancement in the industry.
In his speech, Fadillah said, “IWK has done its best in designing and providing appropriate platforms for its employees, and produce more skilled workers through the Malaysian skills certification.
“As a leader in the national sewerage industry, IWK needs to set an example for other industry players, especially sewerage operators in the region or internationally.”
IWK chairman Ahmad Johnie Zawawi said, as an organisation focused on providing essential services to the public, IWK had experienced many ups and downs over the past three decades, particularly to ensure that its services remained efficient.
As such, the work culture at IWK demanded continuous improvement of skills and competencies among its employees, he added.
