I believe being part of this strong, supportive culture lets people grow and contribute,” exclaimed Dalila Sharingat.
Scania Malaysia is the only company in the heavy commercial vehicle industry in Malaysia to be accredited for the NDTS certified training programme. The MOU exchange sealed the partnership between Scania and IKTBNDT via the NDTS that is a method based on industry-driven training concept which is operated through collaboration between companies and training institutions. ‘Dual’ means training in two learning situations such as the NDTS Accredited Centre in Scania Malaysia that covers 70% to 80% practical training (hands-on performance), and the IKTBNDT academic learnings which cover 20% to 30% of theory (knowledge).
“We are currently working out the standard requirements by the Human Resources Ministry in an effort to raise the Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) Tahap 2 that Scania awards to the apprentices, to SKM Tahap 3 targeted to launch by end 2023. We believe Scania has the expertise, the technological advancement and the experience that will meet these standard requirements,” stated Razis Azlan Zainal, Industrial Relations Branch Officer, IKTBNDT.
“We are committed to a better tomorrow. Our purpose is ambitious: To drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system. This bold aspiration really excites us. And it means people who work at Scania have the motivation and desire to constantly make things better. The sheer determination of our culture and our people is what keeps us going and going and going. We are looking forward to people who are alike to join us on our journey towards driving real change, together.” concluded Heba.
