KUALA LUMPUR: Oracle and MyDigital Corporation yesterday announced a collaboration to deliver skills training to 300,000 students and professionals across Malaysia, aiming to boost employability and support career growth by 2029.
The collaboration with MyDigital Corporation gives students and professionals access to digital training and foundational certifications to prepare them for future jobs. This includes over 200 hours of learning and certifications, with full structured learning paths delivered over three years in technologies such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), OCI Generative AI, OCI Data Science, Oracle APEX, OCI DevOps, and OCI Security.
MyDigital Corporation is an agency under the Digital Ministry overseeing the implementation of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint and the National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Policy.
“Strong investment momentum in Malaysia’s digital economy is reinforcing the country’s ambition to become an AI Nation by 2030 and cementing its position as a leading digital innovation hub in Southeast Asia,” said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.
“MyDigital Corporation’s strategic skills development initiative with Oracle, alongside the Oracle Cloud Malaysia Region, will help build a high-calibre digital workforce while accelerating innovation and supporting Malaysia’s long-term digital and economic growth.
“We continue to encourage greater provision of lifelong learning opportunities from both the public and private sectors to meet the rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI) talent and strengthen Malaysia’s competitiveness in the global digital economy,” he added.
The programme will be delivered for free as a digital learning experience through Oracle MyLearn, Oracle’s comprehensive training and enablement platform from Oracle University, used by millions of technology trainees worldwide. It provides foundational cloud training, advancing to professional certifications and additional learning tailored to skill level and goals.
Learners can earn badges alongside professional certifications, showcasing readiness for specialised roles and helping employers identify qualified candidates. This complements the existing free digital awareness and literacy modules available in Rakyat Digital that is powered by MyDigital Corporation. To provide a seamless user experience, Oracle MyLearn will be integrated into Rakyat Digital by June 2026.
“By unifying every layer of the AI stack, Oracle helps organisations across industries harness AI innovations, transform operations, and build critical digital skills,” said Royce Teoh, managing director, Oracle Malaysia.
“As Malaysia aims to become a regional AI Nation by 2030, the Oracle Cloud Malaysia Region and our collaboration with MyDigital Corporation can strengthen the local digital talent pipeline, foster a vibrant digital ecosystem, and advance the nation’s AI ambitions.”
