NSDC International, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), is to provide robust digital skilling solutions to Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp), to empower Malaysian youth with new age skills. The collaboration is set to bolster the bilateral ties between India and Malaysia, advancing the skill development framework in both countries.
NSDC International, MD and CEO, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari and Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp), Group CEO Mr. Thomas Mathew signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday at Kaushal Bhawan in the esteemed presence of Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State (I/C), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India and YB Steven Sim Chee Keong, Minister of Human Resources, Government of Malaysia.
Speaking during the occasion Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) and Minister of State for Education, Govt of India said, “Our skill development program is designed with a strong focus on industry needs. By conducting extensive grassroots surveys, we have identified critical skill gaps, and the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) plays a pivotal role in bridging them. I am confident that TalentCorp will greatly benefit from the tech advisory solutions provided by NSDC International. This partnership offers valuable opportunities for mutual learning and growth for both the countries.”
The partnership will focus on two primary areas of cooperation: the digitalization of Malaysia’s talent ecosystem and the implementation of digitally verifiable credentials. Through a comprehensive skilling digital platform, this initiative will explore curriculum development, content creation, training design and delivery, and best practices for enhancing assessment and certification frameworks. NSDC digital platform will be studied for potential implementation in Malaysia.
Along with this, the collaboration will also focus on implementing NSDC Trust initiative of providing digitally verifiable credentials which will streamline and enhance the verification process for credentials of Indian citizens travelling to Malaysia for higher studies, work, or other purposes. It will ensure the authenticity and reliability of identity, academic, skill, financial, and professional qualifications, facilitating smoother verification procedures and strengthening bilateral ties between India and Malaysia in workforce development.
