KUCHING: Sarawak Energy Berhad ( SEB) recently hosted 20 high-performing lecturers, principals and headmasters from around the state as part of the Ministry of Education’s ‘From Great to Excellent Leaders’ programme (GreEL) which was conducted by Institut Aminuddin Baki (IAB).
SEB executive vice president for Corporate Services Aisah Eden, in her welcoming address, shared Sarawak Energy’s transformation journey from a traditional utility to a modern and agile corporation serving 650,000 customers, covering domestic, commercial, industrial and export customers through an extensive transmission and distribution network throughout the state.
“We are pleased to share our transformation journey and our knowledge with Sarawak’s top educators. We hope that our practices in management and development of our resources, including our ongoing digitalisation and modernisation transformation initiatives as well as our aspirations for the future, will contribute to your professional growth as educators and your own journey to excellence,” she said.
Aisah added that SEB also has various initiatives that include the Sarawak Energy Leading Women Network ( SELWN) that focuses on the empowerment and development of women in Sarawak Energy.
Meanwhile, SEB group chief operating officer Lu Yew Hung said: “We recognise the importance of collaborating with educational institutions and have established research partnerships with a number of them, in line with one of our Social Investment Pillars focusing on education and young people.
“Therefore, educators play an essential role within our society, as they are tasked with the responsibility of nurturing and caring for the future generation. We appreciate and thank you for your contributions.”
GreEL is one of the Ministry of Education’s initiatives under the Government Transformation Program ( GTP) 2.0 in ensuring that school leaders are capable of accelerating schools’ progress towards the 21st century education and Industrial Revolution 4.0.
The three- day programme, held at Menara Sarawak Energy, is part of the Industrial Attachment phase of GreEL, where the educators are given the opportunity to visit and benchmark other government agencies and corporate entities.
The educators participated in knowledge-sharing sessions and forums conducted by the top management of SEB encompassing the company’s transformation journey, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, building capabilities and leadership, mentoring, digitalisation, value creation and agility, as well as managing corporate reputation, followed by site visits to Sarawak Energy facilities.
