Perak: A total of 222 asnaf youth in Perak will undergo Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes organised by the Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) to prepare for a better future.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MAIPk stated that the three fields, Oil and Gas, Industrial Automation, and Maritime Culinary, were chosen for their strong job prospects and industry-relevant skills.

The send-off ceremony for the participants was officiated by MAIPk Asnaf Empowerment Division general manager, Amirudin Osman, at the Darul Ridzuan Islamic Complex here yesterday. "The participants also attended a special motivational session before starting their training to build self-confidence, recognise their potential, and broaden their minds to the opportunities ahead," MAIPk shared in a Facebook post today.

MAIPk further noted that in addition to enhancing technical competencies, the training is designed to also build character, discipline, and confidence in preparation for entering the workforce. "Every participant is a trust, and every opportunity given is hope for a better life. This is MAIPk TVET. Creating opportunities, building lives. Best of luck to all 222 asnaf youth of Perak. Make this opportunity your launching pad to a brighter future," the statement read.
