Everyone involved in the development of the concept of TRAIN should be commended for the contribution as training is not only useful in itself but rather as an essential ingredient to a decent life and constructive contribution to the development of society.

One of the key factors in the future development of our economy and labour market is human capital. The world is witnessing the fall of artificial boundaries as we liberalise our economies. This has created a pressing need for human workforce that is skilled and recognized. The opportunities are thrown wider with the combination between commercial, industrial and technical occupations and service occupations.

TRAIN is established to open up opportunities for our youths, particularly those who are not academically inclined, to get an equally good start in the world. They should be empowered with skills that are recognised by trade occupations worldwide.

I welcome the initiative of TRAIN partners to value add the programme by conducting the programme in multiple language. I also applaud the move to provide an international dimension to TRAIN in terms of accreditation and internship opportunities.

With scholarships, subsidized fees, private and government loans available via. TRAIN, youths of today will have no more excuses not to empower themselves with skills that set them up for a lifetime.
