Did you know that Malaysia’s manufacturing growth is now constrained more by talent than by technology?

This is where industry must shape training.

The German Dual Vocational Training (GDVT) programme integrates classroom learning with structured, workplace-based training. The result: skilled, job-ready talent aligned to real production needs.

In Malaysia, GDVT is implemented under the Akademi Dalam Industri (ADI) framework by the Department of Skills Development (JPK), in collaboration with MGCC and B. Braun.

We are honoured that the Director General of JPK will officiate this workshop.

Great energy at the Jerayawara UP_TVET Programme in Penang 🙌

We were glad to be part of Series 1 of the 2026 Jerayawara UP_TVET programme at IKTBN Bukit Mertajam, where teachers, and the school community came together to explore TVET pathways and future career options. MGCC was there to introduce the German Dual Vocational Training (GDVT) Programme, sharing how hands-on industry training and classroom learning come together in the German model. A big thank you to our GDVT industry partners, B. Braun and VAT, for joining us and sharing real workplace experiences and career journeys under the GDVT programme.

Our Head of Vocational Training, Kumaran Shanmugam, spent an inspiring week in Shanghai for the AHK Regional Meeting together with colleagues from across the ASEAN and DIHK network.

The sessions were packed with sharing, learning, and exploring new ideas for the future of vocational training. From understanding the latest VET developments in Germany to seeing how companies and training centres in China run their dual training programmes, the visit gave us plenty of fresh insights to bring home.

This kind of regional exchange helps us strengthen Malaysia’s own TVET ecosystem and continue building strong pathways for skilled talent. We’re excited for what’s ahead for GDVT and vocational training in Malaysia!
