Yayasan Peneraju shifts focus to value creation in leadership devt
KUALA LUMPUR: Yayasan Peneraju Pendidikan Bumiputera (Yayasan Peneraju), a transformative force in Bumiputera talent development, is shifting towards value creation following 12 years of wealth creation efforts.
Led by Yayasan Peneraju’s chief executive officer Ibrahim Sani, the organisation is repurposing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to concentrate more on specialist, technology, and business services sectors.
Ibrahim stated that the programmes offered were previously based on professions or jobs. However, they now aim to shift from this old mindset and focus more on value creation.
“Yayasan Peneraju’s new approach aims to foster three types of leaders: business leaders, professional leaders, and social leaders. The ultimate goal is to address a larger issue - the low participation and control of the Bumiputera economy,” he said
The only way to address this problem, according to Ibrahim, is by re-skilling and up-skilling Bumiputera talents to meet the needs of both new and old sectors while acknowledging the imperative for agile responses to socioeconomic challenges.
“Energy transition, energy saving and food security are among the emerging sectors meanwhile finance and business services are the old sectors,” he added.
Yayasan Peneraju is established by the government to strengthen the capacity building towards the sustainability of Bumiputera talents.
Among its mandate is improving the quality, quantity and relevance of Bumiputera talents in line with the efforts to develop Malaysia towards a high-income nation through structured academic, TVET, professional, technology and specialist funding programmes.
In a proactive bid to stay at the forefront of industry trends, Yayasan Peneraju is currently undergoing a comprehensive digitisation process.
Harnessing the power of automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics, the organisation aims to streamline its operations, ensuring an enriched experience, with the involvement of our alumni.
The transformative journey finds its zenith in an upcoming rebranding initiative scheduled to launch on April 18 with the Minister of Economy, Rafizi Ramli, unveiling this rebranding, symbolising a visionary 10year strategic direction for Yayasan Peneraju and a dialogue session with Yayasan Peneraju’s beneficiaries.
