Key points
- In a written response to Bernama, MISC said developing the sector’s workforce required substantial expenditure covering practical training, professional certification, simulator use, and onboard placements to gain seafaring experience.
- MISC said cost-sharing was particularly relevant for programmes requiring high investment or involving new competencies, as digitalisation, automation, decarbonisation efforts and the use of alternative fuels were changing maritime workforce requirements.
- MISC said efforts to increase Malaysian participation in the maritime sector should begin before they enter the workforce, through career exposure in schools, access to education and sponsorships, training that meets industry needs, as well as opportunities to gain real-world experience.
