The Talent Platform is an end-to-end solution for Talents in Malaysia to assist them to land on the profession based on their interest and competency. Since the Malaysian population fabric contain multiple races with different culture, religion and language ability, capturing the individual’s personal information is key in matching them to the relevant profession, be it internship or their first job. Being a government agency under the Ministry of Human Resource, collecting these data points is critical to forecast talent's competency, availability and skill set that can be shared with the industry. This is also crucial in attracting Foreign Direct investment that creates job opportunities.  This will be highly beneficial for industry that is looking for the right criteria based on the skill set and personal background of the talent.

In the end, the talent is the main beneficiary of this initiative.
