What is MyDigitalWorkforce Work in Tech (MYWiT)

MyDigitalWorkforce Work in Tech (MYWiT) is a programme that encourages businesses to hire Malaysians by offering digital upskilling and reskilling opportunities. Through salary and training incentives, this project assists businesses in hiring digital talent. MYWiT consists of the following programmes: Digital Business Services (DBS) and Digital Tech Apprenticeship (DTA).

The DBS programme has been tailored to improve Malaysians' digital literacy and abilities in order to combat the country's rising unemployment rate. This is accomplished through collaborations with businesses in the fast-growing DBS industry, with the goal of showcasing Malaysia as an investment destination. Meanwhile, the DTA program is an opportunity for unemployed workers to upskill and reskill to improve their eligibility and equip them with the skills needed to succeed in the most in-demand tech jobs, such as data science, software development, and cybersecurity.
