Malaysia’s aspiration to be a market-driven talent hub has been around for a while, but in this day and age, where the Covid-19 pandemic has created a global workforce through remote work, the goal has become a little harder to achieve.

A key concern and challenge is to bridge the gap between what the industry wants and the skills our graduates possess. If we achieve this, we can incentivise companies to offer even higher wages, driving economic growth, says Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd (TalentCorp) group CEO Thomas Mathew.

By narrowing this skills gap, not only will the job market be more competitive but the
brain drain will also be mitigated. On top of that, people will find compelling and well-paying opportunities here, making Malaysia an attractive prospect.
