About

This portal helps you find vocational courses suited to your needs.

This initiative by Penang Institute began in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, in response to the strongly growing demand among school-leavers and newly unemployed people for skilling opportunities.

 

By providing easy access to information about available vocational courses, we wish to help individuals make informed and purposeful decisions as they pursue holistic personal growth.

 

The portal is independent and is not affiliated to any of the education institutions on the site. All information shared is solely to enable better decision-making among those seeking to upskill themselves under conditions that suit them best.

Tailor your learning pathway to your
preferences and to the stage of life you’re at.
