Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has finally announced its third instalment of the Let’s Learn Digital (LLD), an upskilling programme covering a wide array of digital tech courses.

Third Instalment Of Let’s Learn Digital (LLD)

Launched under MDEC’s #mydigitalworkforce initiative in 2020, this year’s programme will provide opportunities for the Malaysian workforce to upskill themselves through digital tech courses in areas such as data science, cybersecurity, animation, game development, digital global business services, financial technology (FinTech), digital marketing, cloud and many more.

For the third instalment, MDEC is collaborating with Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, SAS and training providers under its Digital Skills Training Directory to make available a host of free-of-charge courses.

Mahadhir Aziz, CEO of MDEC, said MDEC will continue to work hard to ensure the pipeline for a digitally-skilled and capable workforce goes unhindered.

A dynamic digital ecosystem requires equally productive digital talents to be developed coherently as we believe a good digital talent pool is as vital as advanced machinery. Locally, we have seen many digital jobs have been vacant, or being filled by expatriates, due to the gap in digital skills of Malaysians.

He further added:

With programme such as LLD, we will continue to step up the creation of the talent pool through collaboration with industry partners who will provide insights on the current skills and job demand as well as expertise.
