Perhebat helps veterans transition to civilian jobs
SUNGAI BULOH: Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said around 72 per cent of veterans who completed transitional training programmes under the Ex-Servicemen Affairs Corporation (Perhebat) have secured employment. The Perhebat training programme provides a structured pathway to help retiring military personnel adapt to civilian life and employment by equipping them with new skills and knowledge. Khaled said those who completed the programme went on to become entrepreneurs or self-employed, while some secured jobs in the labour market. "If we look at the country's New Industrial Master Plan, by 2030, the nation aims to have six million skilled workers, and I believe many military personnel can fulfil that need," he said at the Dewan Jubli Perak, Kompleks Perhebat, Kem Sungai Buloh. Khaled said the Perhebat programme will continue to engage industry players by offering an experienced, skilled and competitive workforce, while remaining agile, open and performance-driven. While the employment rate's increase from last year is encouraging, there is still room for improvement, he said. "This means we must always be open to reviewing the content of the training, the curriculum used, and the transition training process. It must align with current market trends. It must be up to date and not outdated," Khaled added. In conjunction with the event, 3,473 Malaysian armed forces personnel completed the Transition Training programme, and 514 personnel and veterans received the Malaysian Skills Diploma.
