Recently, CIDB Malaysia, as a member of the VISTA Advisory Council (VAC), participated in the Southern Region VEN programme held at Hotel Amari Johor Bahru. The objective of the programme was to introduce and raise awareness on the importance of the VISTA i-plus initiative in meeting the skilled workforce demands of the oil and gas industry in the Southern Region.
CIDB was represented by Sr. Ahmad Farrin Mokhtar, Senior General Manager, Contractor and Construction Personnel Development Sector, who was invited as a panellist for the forum titled: “Building a Sustainable Skilled Workforce for the Future”, alongside other strategic partners such as Petronas, MOGSC, ILP Pasir Gudang and JPDC.

The programme successfully attracted nearly 100 participants from government agencies, TVET training institutions and oil and gas industry players. It served as an interactive platform to strengthen stakeholder collaboration, elevate TVET training standards and explore sustainable financing models to support the outlined initiatives.
