KUALA LUMPUR – Armada today proposed that Malaysia’s technical and vocational education and training system be empowered to help graduates secure jobs that match their skills and interests.

The Bersatu Youth wing’s chief, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, said through the job-guarantee policy under the National Employment Council, the system can be strengthened to create and develop employment opportunities.

“The (setting up of) a talent-matching system that identifies and matches young talent with the best opportunities needs to be expedited,” he said in his policy speech at the party’s annual general assembly, held virtually, today.

He said Armada believes that the nation’s dependence on foreign workers should be gradually reduced by increasing locals’ involvement.

To help Malaysians burdened by the high cost of living, he suggested three key changes: “people-friendly” homes, lifelong education and old-age welfare.

“The role of people with disabilities should also be appreciated, and the National Employment Council should increase their involvement in the national economy.”

He said the Youth wing will restructure its platform to ensure students and young professionals can actively participate in politics through Mahasiswa Bersatu Negara. – Bernama, November 28, 2020
