KUALA LUMPUR (July 22): Appointing a custodian will augur well for long-term Future Skills Framework (FSF) stewardship, said Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) chairman Tan Sri Azman Hashim on Monday.
He noted that forming a network of specialists among the financial stakeholders to share best practices would also be instrumental in advancing the FSF as a cutting-edge resource.
"In pushing boundaries, I envision the FSF becoming the leading reference for financial skills development in Asia, with Malaysia emerging as a regional hub for skills.
"Herein lies potential for the development of standardised learning programmes and knowledge exchange platforms within the region," he said in his speech at the launch of FSF for the financial sector here.
Human Resource Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong and Bank Negara Malaysia governor Datuk Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour were also present.
Azman pointed out that the FSF served as a foundation for customisation by financial institutions to meet unique talent management requirements.
He added that the FSF would constitute a strategic framework that sets standards for developing a more adaptable workforce.
"It empowers individuals to excel and accomplish professional goals through better-informed learning and career choices," he added.
Azman said that to foster high-return employee journeys through FSF capacity-building programmes, the prime and power skills identified aim to equip individuals with technical and technological proficiency, operational adaptability and interpersonal astuteness.
He added that the FSF functioned as a dynamic resource that would be periodically updated in line with market dynamics.
"Following this launch, the FSF will be publicly accessible on the websites of AICB, Islamic Banking and Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM) and the Malaysian Insurance Institute," said Azman.
He added that the FSF offers a beacon for preparedness for the exact path ahead.
