Indian tech companies in Malaysia to take on task of training, hiring 5,000 locals

MDEC-Nasscom partnership sealed last week sees local training in AI, cybersecurity, software development, Next Gen tech

KUALA LUMPUR – Global Indian tech companies in Malaysia have inked their commitment to train and hire at least 5,000 Malaysians, following a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two nations. 

In a statement today, Malaysia’s Digital Ministry said the MoU between the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and India’s non-profit organisation, the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom), was exchanged in New Delhi on August 21. 

While seven international Indian companies are currently part of the initiative, the ministry said more firms are currently in discussion to take part in the programme. 

The training and hiring scheme with the seven companies, the ministry added, will take place over three years, beginning this year. 

“MDEC and Nasscom’s partnership will see local talents being trained in several key areas in the digital sphere, namely Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, software development, and Next Gen technologies.” 

Noting that a crucial component to accelerate outcomes is talent, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said creating talents is extremely vital in today’s rapidly evolving digital world, where new technologies are developed daily. 

While efforts to create talent start with educating youths, the minister stressed that measures to reskill and upskill those who are already in the workforce should not be overlooked. 

“This is to ensure no one is left behind in our endeavour to create a digital nation,” he added. 

Nasscom is a non-governmental trade association and advocacy group in India that primarily serves the Indian technology industry. 

Founded in 1988, Nasscom operates as a nonprofit organisation and serves as a key entity within the Indian technology sector. – August 25, 2024
