Tengku Zafrul says there is a need to address the shortage of local experts in several sectors, including aerospace.
MELAKA: The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) is set to engage in a more proactive collaborative effort with several other ministries to empower the aerospace industry with highly skilled workers as well as research and development efforts.
Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said there was a need to address the shortage of local experts in several sectors, including aerospace.
“As such, Miti will work together with ministries such as the Higher Education Ministry to ensure a continuous supply of talents, which would also give us a competitive advantage in attracting investments in terms of infrastructure and skilled manpower.
“The collaboration will also ensure that the talents produced by the higher education institutions are relevant and meet the industries’ needs, in addition to being one of the platforms which could boost workers’ incomes in the industry,” he said.
