When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough gets Going!

As the pandemic unfolds unimaginable misery by shattering lives and livelihoods, governments around the world scramble to regain some semblance of normality and credibility. Some take drastic measures primarily to save the lives and economy. Others take a more holistic view. Like Malaysia. This government recognizes that a multi-pronged approach is needed. One that is directed not only towards dousing the flames of the pandemic but also supporting efforts that will ultimately contribute to the economic recovering as the flames gradually die off.

The setting up of a short-term economic plan, PENJANA is a good example. A plan that embodies the principles of unifying discreet elements necessary in rebuilding an economy. One element contained within PENJANA is a financial scheme undertaken by PERKESO designed to invigorate economic and social development by imbuing a desire for self-improvement by the unemployed. This timely initiative opens vistas of opportunities to enhance much needed expertise required as and when the scourge of the pandemic dissipates. When this happens, the wheels of economic development will gradually gain momentum based on the availability of required expertise. 

The employee insurance scheme by PERKESO is a bold attempt of leveraging the ingredients for post pandemic recovery. They include latest technology, untapped learning capacity of the unemployed and underutilized training providers expertise. Integrating these together has the potential of rapidly intensifying the momentum of economic development post pandemic era. 

An example of such expertise is agile project management which is a study of how to sense and respond to changing situations and requirements to ensure business continuity. Sharma Management International is an approved training provider for the Orang Berinsurans Training (OBT) scheme and PENJANA KERJAYA scheme from PERKESO for the Project Management Professional (PMP) and Scrum Master Certification (SMC) course fees are fully covered under both the schemes.
