Life will be made easier with digital skills

NURTURING THE FUTURE OF MALAYSIA

The conception of Premier Digital Tech Institutions (PDTI) initiative by MDEC is designed to bring together key players from industry in the talent development landscape along with Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) and other educational institutions which aim to address the shortage of local talent in the Digital Tech industry.
The initiative by MDEC with support from the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) reflects the national strategic imperative to enhance graduates' employability in the Digital Tech industry. By creating a conducive ecosystem and fostering closer collaboration between selected IHLs awarded by MDEC and industry, the initiative aims to establish a sustainable pipeline of skilled graduates who are job-ready and capable of meeting industry demands.
Through this strategic collaboration, MDEC aims to enhance Malaysia digital economy and establish itself as a leading destination for digital businesses and talents.
