KUALA LUMPUR, 7 MAY 2021 – In the Southeast Asia region, Malaysia is seen as one of the popular destinations for migrant workers to get a job, especially for those with little or no skills. Like other countries, most businesses in Malaysia have a strong dependency on these migrant workers mainly because of the modernisation aspect and the lack of workforce in the employment sector. With the ongoing MCO / CMCO movement, and seeing spikes of Covid-19 cases, Manforce Group Berhad, one of the leading foreign worker solutions providers in Malaysia is gearing to elevate and recharge Malaysia’s workforce and economy again by building up local young workforce through their initiative, Malaysians Development Uplift Programme (“MDUP”).
Launched in February 2020, the programme intends to empower young Malaysians with the necessary skills of learning, life and work; enhancing sustainable growth with skilled workforce through basic industrial training, at the same time ensuring that young Malaysians fully understand and exceed the expectations of employers. Manforce Group together with its partners such as manufacturing companies Maxter Glove, Panasonic, George Kent and among others are all in this together to provide employment to these students upon their graduation of this 6-months programme.
