Govt launches framework to prepare communications, multimedia workforce for AI-driven changes

The Malaysian government has launched the Communications and Multimedia Future Skills Framework (C&M FSF) to address the evolving needs of the communications and multimedia industry, influenced by AI, digitalization, and emerging technologies.

Spearheaded by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), this framework aims to strategically guide talent development over the next five to ten years, with collaboration from the Higher Education and Human Resources ministries.

It is not regulatory but focuses on aligning industry requirements with education and workforce skills development.

The initiative includes forming the Future Skills Talent Council and enhancing educational curricula to equip Malaysians with future-ready skills.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — The federal government today launched a new framework to align communications and multimedia industry needs with education and skills development as artificial intelligence (AI), digitalisation, emerging technologies and the green economy reshape the sector.

Led by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Communications and Multimedia Future Skills Framework (C&M FSF) will serve as a strategic reference for talent development in the communications and multimedia sector over the next five to 10 years.

Its implementation will also involve the Higher Education and Human Resources ministries to align industry needs with education and skills development.

Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the framework identifies industry needs while aligning government, industry and education efforts to keep talent development in step with technological and economic changes.

“AI is already changing the nature of many jobs, particularly in areas such as advertising, graphic design and production, by speeding up work processes and taking over some tasks.

“So it is a guideline that we will study and apply across specific sectors under MCMC’s purview, particularly broadcasting, telecommunications and postal and courier services,” he told reporters after the launch of the framework at Angkasapuri here.

Fahmi said the framework was not regulatory in nature, but focused on workforce needs and the potential impact of AI adoption on the sectors and their long-term planning.

To ensure the C&M FSF meets industry needs, the Future Skills Talent Council (FSTC) has been established under the Human Resources Ministry in collaboration with the Communications Ministry through MCMC.

Meanwhile, the Higher Education Ministry will use the C&M FSF to strengthen curricula, micro-credentials and graduate competencies, while training and upskilling programmes will be tailored to changing technology and job market needs.

Fahmi said the framework’s launch reflected the federal government’s efforts to anticipate changes in the job landscape and prepare Malaysians with future-ready skills.

“On the government’s part, we will work to ensure there are more job opportunities available, enabling companies to hire more people, especially young Malaysians,” he said.

马来西亚政府推出了通信和多媒体未来技能框架（C&M FSF），以应对受人工智能、数字化和新兴技术影响的通信和多媒体行业不断变化的需求。

该框架由马来西亚通讯及多媒体委员会（MCMC）牵头，旨在与高等教育部和人力资源部合作，在未来五到十年内对人才发展进行战略性指导。

它不属于监管范畴，而是侧重于使行业要求与教育和劳动力技能发展保持一致。

该计划包括成立未来技能人才委员会，并加强教育课程，以使马来西亚人具备面向未来的技能。

吉隆坡，10 月 5 日讯——联邦政府今天推出一项新框架，旨在将通信和多媒体行业的需求与教育和技能发展相结合，因为人工智能 (AI)、数字化、新兴技术和绿色经济正在重塑该行业。

在马来西亚通讯及多媒体委员会 (MCMC) 的领导下，通讯及多媒体未来技能框架 (C&M FSF) 将在未来五到十年内为通讯及多媒体领域的人才发展提供战略参考。

其实施还将涉及高等教育部和人力资源部，以使行业需求与教育和技能发展保持一致。

通讯部长拿督斯里法米·法兹尔表示，该框架确定了行业需求，同时协调政府、行业和教育部门的努力，以使人才发展与技术和经济变革保持同步。

“人工智能已经改变了许多工作的性质，尤其是在广告、平面设计和制作等领域，它加快了工作流程并接管了一些任务。

“因此，我们将研究并应用这一指导方针，将其应用于 MCMC 管辖范围内的特定领域，特别是广播、电信以及邮政和快递服务领域，”他在 Angkasapuri 举行的框架启动仪式后告诉记者。

法赫米表示，该框架本质上并非监管性质，而是侧重于劳动力需求以及人工智能应用对各行业及其长期规划的潜在影响。

为确保C&M FSF满足行业需求，人力资源部与通讯部通过MCMC合作成立了未来技能人才理事会（FSTC）。

与此同时，高等教育部将利用C&M FSF加强课程设置、微证书和毕业生能力，同时培训和技能提升计划将根据不断变化的技术和就业市场需求进行调整。

法米表示，该框架的推出体现了联邦政府为预测就业形势变化并培养马来西亚人面向未来的技能所做的努力。

他说：“政府方面，我们将努力确保有更多的工作机会，使企业能够雇用更多的人，特别是年轻的马来西亚人。”
