KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 (Bernama) — Strategic cooperation between industry players and educational institutions can drive the country’s digitalisation agenda, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Citing the partnership among Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Holdings, Viztech, BytePlus and technology partner Digital One Solution signed today, Ahmad Zahid said it would strengthen digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) development.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said such strategic collaboration was also in line with the government’s aspiration to empower Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as the backbone of national talent development.
“God willing, through this collaboration, more opportunities will be created to enrich the TVET curriculum with new technologies, provide students with relevant industry exposure, and produce a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of the digital economy,” he said in a Facebook post tonight.
Earlier, Ahmad Zahid witnessed the Strategic Partnership Exchange ceremony among UniKL, UiTM Holdings through Neura Sdn Bhd, Viztech, BytePlus and Digital One Solution at Menara MARA here this evening.
He also congratulated all parties involved in the initiative and expressed hope that the cooperation would continue to bring significant benefits to human capital development and the nation’s economic progress.
