Strengthening human capital: Noraini giving her speech at the launch of the EPIP programme. THE timber industry is on the lookout for more local graduates as it moves into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0). Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) president Mazli Zakuan Mohd Noor said the council has created the first-of-its-kind Engineer Placement and Internship Placement (EPIP) in the Timber Industry 2021 programme, which is divided into two parts – for engineers and for interns. He said these are part of the council’s strategic plan, which includes intensifying efforts to achieve digitisation and automation in the industry as it enters IR4.0. “(It is also) to increase the number of knowledgeable workers, especially in the fields of engineering and design of wood products and furniture, ” he said at the launch of the event on March 2.

Leading industry transformation with heart

The core challenge that the industry is facing is transformation in the area of automation adoption, among others. It has been 29 years since the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) started its operations, but it remains ever true and passionate to its vision of being the lead organisation that develops the Malaysian timber industry into a world leader in the manufacture and trade of timber products. This determination is reflected in its Five-Year Plan (2019-2023), which lays out MTC’s strategic direction in the planning of its programmes and activities, aligned with its vision and mission. The plan is made up of four key thrusts and 14 focus areas to address pressing challenges, with seven must-wins to achieve for 2021.
