Who’s DRD/JPK?
JPK is the government agency responsible for promoting and coordinating strategies and skills training programmes in line with efforts to reinforce skills. Through the Skills Malaysia agenda announced under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) by the Prime Minister on 11th January 2011, the government aims to achieve 50 per cent of highly skilled workers by 2020. To augment this effort, the government has recognized the Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) for the purpose of entry into 13 public service schemes.
