PUTRAJAYA: The timber industry is on the lookout for more local graduates as it moves into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or IR 4.0.

Malaysian Timber Council president Mazli Zakuan Mohd Noor said the council has created the first-of-its-kind Engineer Placement and Internship Placement in the Industry 2021 programme that was divided into two parts, for engineers and for interns.

Mazli Zakuan said the engineer placement programme was offered to engineers to undergo workplace training under professional guidance for a year. "The training cost together with an allowance of RM2,000 a month would be borne by MTC," he said in his speech which was read by MTC Board of Trustees member Datuk Ahmad Nadzarudin Abdul Razak.

“As one of the country's largest commodity sectors, the timber industry is no exception in adapting the latest technology to continue to progress in line with other industrial sectors, ” she said. “The involvement of engineers in the carpentry industry is very important through the expertise and use of technology in improving operational efficiency and product innovation, ” she said.

He added that MTC would be taking 80 candidates this year and hoped those chosen would go on to contribute to the nation’s economy.
