Public-private partnership to produce future-proof talents

Concerted effort: All parties including relevant ministry’s, public and private sector, must work together in unison to ensure that graduates will be ready to meet demands of the IR4.0 marketplace.

“Coming up with frameworks, blueprints, and plans are not sufficient if the ministry receives no input from all relevant stakeholders from both public and private higher education institutions (HEIs).
