Human Capital
Penang has always attributed its labour force as its greatest asset. The educated, English speaking and highly trainable workforce in Penang was the key attraction to foreign direct investments in the early days of industrialisation in Penang.
Today, the workforce from Penang not only manage local operations but also oversee operations of the multinational corporations’ other offshore plants. Additionally, some of the multinational corporations’ key design engineers are Penangites, who own patents.
The availability of the main campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia, which was awarded the APEX (accelerated programme for excellence) status in September 2008; the availability of skills development centres like the Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC) and the Japan Malaysia Technical Institute (JMTI) as well as another thirty private institutes of higher learning further boost the competency of Penang’s labour force.
