With regard to Sarawak Skills\u2019 new facilities, Mr. Hallman bin Sabri shared on Sarawak Skills’ commitment to foster a conducive learning and teaching environment that is aligned with the latest technological advancements. \u201cOur students and trainees comprise individuals from diverse backgrounds, including school leavers, working adults, and unemployed graduates. It is imperative for us to adopt up-to-date teaching methods to ensure they acquire the competencies required by today’s industries,\u201d he stated. He added, \u201cIn line with Sarawak Skills\u2019 vision as a TVET Trendsetter, we have also embarked on collaborative engagements with industry players from countries such as China and the Philippines. With an emphasis on the automotive and energy sectors, our newly-minted partnerships will go a long way towards facilitating the spirit of innovation and skill development in Sarawak.\u201d<\/p>
