TRM’s impact has been profound and far-reaching, serving as a lifeline for many in the wake of the pandemic.

TRM, under her leadership, has become an essential agent of change, mitigating the pandemic’s impact and reducing unemployment rates.
In 2023, TRM has evolved and expanded its horizons to cater to the dynamic needs of the job market. One of the notable developments is the extension of the course duration, which allows for more comprehensive skill acquisition. The programme’s content has been updated to align with contemporary industry demands, ensuring that participants are equipped with relevant and marketable skills. Furthermore, TRM has introduced self-paced learning, catering to diverse learning styles and enabling individuals to tailor their educational journey to their unique needs.
Business coaching has been incorporated into the programme, recognising the importance of not only technical skills but also the ability to navigate the professional landscape effectively. Practical training in cutting-edge technology skills such as virtual reality (VR), drones, and AMI smart metres is now a central component of TRM, reflecting the growing importance of technology in the job market. This emphasis on technological skills positions programme participants for success in emerging industries and equips them to excel in a rapidly digitising world.
TRM’s diversification into flagship programmes signifies its adaptability and responsiveness to the ever-evolving employment landscape. These flagship programmes are a strategic move to cultivate specialised skills that cater to specific industry needs, further enhancing the employability of participants. Moreover, TRM is now actively supporting the burgeoning field of digital entrepreneurship in Malaysia, recognising the importance of nurturing home grown businesses and promoting economic resilience. By doing so, the programme is not only creating job seekers but also job creators, fostering a culture of entrepreneurship.
