- The initiative strengthens international cooperation in vocational education, enhancing employability through exposure to reputed Chinese institutions.
- A new MoU between Belia Mahir and the Malaysian Indian Youth Council will create a more structured talent development ecosystem, aligning training with industry needs and expanding opportunities for Indian youth in Malaysia.
This milestone represents the culmination of bilateral skills development efforts between Malaysia and China, as 312 Malaysian Indian youths have completed TVET programs offered by 16 prestigious institutions in China. Their achievements were celebrated at the Malaysia-China Youth TVET Training Appreciation Ceremony, an event organized by the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit to acknowledge the graduates' dedication and the programme's broader national impact.
Speaking at the event held at the International Youth Centre, the president of Belia Mahir, Mohammad Rizan Hassan, said such initiatives would equip and prepare young Malaysians for the rapidly evolving technology-driven global economy. Mohammad Rizan Hassan highlighted that participants attending the MCYTT-MITRA programme are especially fortunate since, apart from classroom knowledge, the programme imparts hands-on experience to deal with state-of-the-art technological systems and practices that define modern industries.
This, he explained, has equipped them with the necessary skills and confidence for excellent performances in industry sectors shaped by automation, digitalization, and innovation. The event also emphasized how government-initiated endeavors open the door to international learning ecologies. The program allows Malaysian Indian youth to reap the benefits of training in reputed Chinese institutions by increasing their employability while strengthening international cooperation in vocational education.

The TVET route, fast gaining major currency globally, provides practical, industry-driven training that links up directly to quality employment in technical spheres. The MoU signing between Belia Mahir and the Malaysian Indian Youth Council also marked further expansion into talent development. This will establish a more structured and strategic framework for skills nurturing among Indian youth in Malaysia, ensuring sustained support for training, capacity building, and career advancement.
The collaboration is envisioned to bring forth a more cohesive ecosystem in grooming skilled manpower, with the alignment of training modules to industry demand, and increased access to opportunity both at home and abroad. The success of these 312 graduates means more than individual achievement; it signals progress in the cultivation of a skilled workforce that can meaningfully contribute toward Malaysia's long-term technological and industrial ambitions.
As the country continues to push its TVET agenda as a pathway to upward mobility and economic resilience, the MCYTT initiative stands as a promising model of how international partnerships can play a transformative role in shaping the next generation of technical talent.
