NTW 2025 Offers CPR Training, Insight Into The World Of The Blind
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 (Bernama) -- Visitors to the National Training Week (NTW) 2025 Carnival have the opportunity to learn life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for free and gain insights into the world of the visually impaired. Academy of Safety and Emergency Care (ASEC) Strategic Task Force manager Muazzam Jamaluddin said visitors are given hands-on exposure to initial life-saving techniques during emergencies. 'We'll be demonstrating and teaching the correct way to perform CPR so the public can better understand and feel confident to take action in an emergency. We will guide them on how to apply proper chest compressions and assess how accurate their technique is. 'We are also challenging visitors to perform CPR for two minutes using a special device to test the percentage of their effectiveness in saving lives within 120 seconds,' he told Bernama at the NTW 2025 booth at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, here today. He added that apart from CPR training, his team also brought a disaster management simulation module to teach the concept of triage, which is prioritising treatment in situations involving many victims at this year's NTW. 'We showed visitors how to identify who should receive immediate treatment during a large-scale incident involving many lives. This situation is not as simple as treating one patient as there needs to be a priority order to ensure treatment can be given effectively,' he said. One of the visitors, Hidayatus Syafiyyah Kamaludin, 24, said the opportunity to practice CPR and learn the correct technique is very useful in preparing for emergencies involving either family members or the public. 'I have only seen CPR being done but never had the chance to try it myself. This time I got to try it and learn the proper method,' said the private-sector employee. Meanwhile, Nor Saliza Jusoh, a publishing assistant at the Textbook Division of the Islamic Society of the Blind (PERTIS) said her organisation aimed to raise awareness on how to correctly assist the visually impaired.

NTW 2025 records over two million participants
KUALA LUMPUR — The 2025 National Training Week (NTW), held to promote greater participation in skills training among Malaysians, has recorded over two million participants, exceeding its initial one million target. Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said the third edition of NTW offered more than 71,000 free courses nationwide, conducted physically, online and in hybrid formats, from today until June 21. 'More than 41 per cent of the courses are related to Industry 4.0. To improve the people's skills in this area, the Human Resources Ministry (KESUMA) collaborated with the Ministry of Education (MOE) to implement the AI-4-Educators programme from April 7 to June 12. 'This is to train nearly 400,000 educators in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching techniques, skills and related issues such as ethics, so that frontliners in our human capital development sector are equipped with the knowledge and skills to face the challenges of the AI era,' he said when speaking at the NTW ceremony at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium here today. The AI-4-Educators programme, comprising five self-training modules covering the use of AI in teaching, accessibility and ethics, has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for recording the largest participation of educators in an AI training programme. Sim said the government had allocated about RM10 billion for skills development, of which 30 per cent came from levies imposed on private companies to train their employees. 'KESUMA is aware that with such a large financial allocation, the strategy must be aligned with current needs so that the people can benefit from it. Therefore, last year we introduced the MyMahir portal, which helps not only government agencies and private companies but also individuals to make informed decisions on skills development plans based on economic criteria. 'In this first year, KESUMA found that our trainees earned an average salary that was 12 per cent higher than the general market average. This programme will be expanded more aggressively so that more workers benefit from the MADANI Government's investment in skills development,' he said. Meanwhile, the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp), in a statement, said that among the popular courses during NTW 2025 were Neurodiversity Virtual Training, Cyber Security Threat Management (CSTM), ChatGPT Malaysia Community: Malaysia's Premier AI Learning Platform, Drone Flying Skills for New Pilots, Tax Planning for Individuals 2025, and Generative AI For Everyone. All activities implemented under NTW 2025 were based on five primary thrusts, namely Life Skills, Future Skills, Creativity and Innovation, Financial Literacy, and Sustainable Development. — BERNAMA
