AWS collaborates with Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education’s JPPKK to build next-generation AI workforce

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how we work and is reshaping the workforce of the future. However, a recent study conducted by Access Partnership for AWS revealed that 81 percent of Malaysia’s employers struggle to find the AI talent they need, despite nine in 10 stating that hiring AI-skilled talent is a priority for them. To address the nation’s AI skills gap, AWS and Jabatan Pendidikan Politeknik & Kolej Komuni (JPPKK), an agency under Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), teamed up to introduce new training initiatives targeting both educators and students to uplift Malaysia’s TVET (technical and vocational education and training) community.
