BINTULU: The Advanced Technology Training Centre (ADTEC) here must continue to play a crucial role in supporting the implementation of Sarawak Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030, focusing on developing competent and highly skilled human capital.
Jepak assemblyman, Iskandar Turkee, stated that as a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution, ADTEC Bintulu holds a strategic role in producing skilled workers needed to support Sarawak’s key sectors, including oil and gas, green technology, modern manufacturing, and renewable energy.
According to him, all these sectors require a workforce that is not only skilled but also creative and innovative.
“As an institution that provides high-quality technical and vocational training, ADTEC plays a vital role in producing graduates who can meet industry demands and contribute to the development of the state and country, in line with Sarawak’s vision of becoming a developed state by 2030,” he said during his speech at the closing ceremony of the ADTEC Bintulu Orientation Week for the 1/2025 session on Wednesday.
He also stressed that in facing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), TVET students must be prepared for rapid technological changes and ensure that TVET education is recognised as being on par with mainstream education.
This necessity, he said, aligns with the goals of PCDS 2030, which focus on developing human capital capable of competing globally.
Therefore, he hopes that ADTEC Bintulu students, both new and existing, will continue to strive to improve their skills and become agents of change in helping Sarawak achieve its ambitious development goals by 2030.
