KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 (Bernama) — Might-Meteor Advanced Manufacturing aims to improve the productivity of at least 100 local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) this year via the “Coaching For You@SME” programme adopted from South Korea.
“For the first batch, 20 companies will be coached on Korean methods to expedite employees’ talents and competencies in business,” Managing Director Jasmin Baba told the media at the signing of the partnership agreement between Korea’s Incoaching Co Ltd and Might-Meteor.
She said the programme would benefit mostly high-technology companies involved in shipbuilding, aerospace and the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project under the government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).
“We want to make sure the employees have a high quality and professional attitude that can be passed on to other colleagues and together help improve their companies,” she said.
SME Corp Chief Executive Officer Datuk Hafsah Hashim, who was also at the signing, said many developing nations want to emulate the phenomenal economic success of Korea, whose SMIs (small and medium industries) reportedly contribute significantly to the country’s gross domestic product.
“Malaysia’s SMEs equally have the potential and are hungry for positive change to bring about higher growth rates for the country, so let us assist to move the envelope for our SMEs to contribute to our national target GDP growth of seven to eight per cent in 2020,” she added.
