27.4.2026 I π€ Pioneering Future Collaboration in Composite Technology
A new chapter for TVET excellence is on the horizon! We were pleased to welcome the delegation from RETI Education Group SDN BHD, led by Dr. Wan for an exploratory visit to the UniMAP TVET Centre. This visit serves as a cornerstone for a future collaboration aimed at revolutionizing specialized technical training in Malaysia.
# # # π A Strategic Feeder Program
The heart of this partnership is the development of a structured Composite Technology pathway:
* **Industry-Entry Skills:** Focus on the SKM Level 2 (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia) program at RETI to build foundational mastery.
* **Academic Progression:** Designing a seamless transition where RETI graduates become a primary feeder group for UniMAPβs advanced TVET and Engineering Technology degrees.
# # # π¬ Planning for Excellence
The discussion, hosted by Dr. Faizah, addressed the vital technical requirements to ensure a world-class learning environment:
* **Compliance:** Aligning with **JPK (Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran)** and **COPTPA** (Code of Practice for TVET Program Accreditation) standards.
* **Shared Expertise:** Leveraging UniMAP's academic depth and RETIβs industrial agility to create a premier Composite Program.

The Next Steps
Following this successful visit, Dr. Faizah will proceed with further strategic dialogues involving the team from Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology and the team from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Technology. These upcoming sessions will finalize the roadmap for facility sharing and curriculum integration.
We are excited about the potential of this synergy to produce high-caliber experts in Composite Technology! π²πΎβ¨
