Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) has rebranded its Automotive Industry Certification Engineering (AICE) programme to the Industry Certification Engineering (ICE) Programme, signifying the programme’s accessibility to more industries beyond the automotive sector.
The ICE programme is designed as a bridging programme for engineering graduates (and related fields and it consists of a month of classroom training and five months on the job training within the industry.
The training covers manufacturing processes, lean production, quality management, engineering design & analysis as well as soft skills training to delivery professional and efficient performance. Trainees could be absorbed as permanent employees upon completion of the OJT.
ICE is open to Malaysian graduates aged 20 to 27 with a degree or diploma in engineering or related fields. The knowledge and skills gained from the programme increases the employability and marketability of the graduates and is developed based on industry feedback and requirements.
“As there are a multitude of engineering disciplines offered by universities, the ICE Programme ties together knowledge gained from their fundamental courses with the required skills set to immediately create an impact in today’s challenging industry environment”, said MARii Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Madani Sahari.
“In fact, the skills gained from ICE are not only applicable for automotive and manufacturing industries. They are applicable to all industries as well”, he added.
Businesses that are seeking entry level engineers may also approach MARii to recruit ICE graduates, or work with MARii’s human capital development team to customise training as part of the business’ on-boarding programme.
MARii is also working closely with numerous government organisations to develop customised ICE programmes to suit specific sectoral needs and assist in the talent enhancement process of its graduates.
MARii targets to train another 1,000 participations through the ICE programme in 2021 alone as it has already successfully enhanced 4,656 graduates as of 2020.
