Experts are calling on Malaysians to equip themselves with the appropriate skills if they want to remain relevant in the tough job market.
Usha Devi Arumugam, a human resource expert at PeopleBiz Consulting, says employees should develop their skills in digital literacy as well as non-technical skills.She said this includes adopting a learning mindset, being adaptive to changes and being socially intelligent.
Aside from this, Usha also encouraged employees to be creative in resolving issues related to their work and not wait for employers to provide upskill programmes for them to learn new skills.“Knowing different ways to solve issues will be beneficial for the employer. This not only means creating new products, but also finding new ways to make processes faster and easier, finding new ways of doing things and challenging the status quo,” she said.
“Employers should provide opportunities for learning and development, particularly in the digital and AI-related areas,” Vic said.As for employees, Vic said they need to be proactive in learning new skills and adapting to changes in the job market. “The training will be intended to close the skills gap of the workforce by developing more life-long learning courses to upskill and reskill existing workers and new potential employees,” he said.
Tax advisory firm TraTax’s co-founder Thenesh Kannaa said that learning to use AI and new digital tools in accounting would enable accountants to perform better. Yayasan Digital Malaysia’s head of digital innovation Mohd Fazli Azran shared the same sentiment, adding that having strong fundamentals and flexibility would be key in the future job market.
