In conjunction with the 10th Anniversary of the German Dual Vocational Training (GDVT) Penang and its remarkable journey of developing World-Class Talent, this year’s focus will be on one of Malaysia’s most pressing economic challenges, the Talent Crisis. Alongside this dialogue, we will also celebrate a decade of commitment to excellence in skills development through the GDVT programme.

Time: 8.30 am - 12.30 pm
Venue: Auditorium (Level 2), Penang Skills Development Centre, Penang

We are honoured to welcome YB Tuan Jagdeep Singh Deo, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II as our keynote speaker and pleased to have H.E. Silke Riecken-Daerr, German Ambassador to Malaysia, delivering a special address.
The Industry Outlook segment will explore Malaysia’s growing labour market challenges, where many businesses face increasing difficulty in securing skilled employees. As industries expand and innovation accelerates, the shortage of talent is not only a concern but also weighs heavily on Malaysia’s economic momentum.
