MGC- PPK Activities
The objective of PPK (PUSAT PEMBANGUNAN KAPASITI) is to help reduce unemployment in the country and build up a competent national workforce. This is achieved by upskilling local jobseekers through three to six months training programmes that are aligned to industry needs. The standard curriculum for the PPK training programme is 20 per cent theory and 80 per cent practical. Training is delivered by industry-experienced instructors from REGISTERED TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS (RTOs).
