These courses bene­fit the logist­ics industry as well as the busi­ness com­munity in Sarawak in by upskilling, re-train­ing the work­force. This is also in line with Sarawak Premier’s aim to achieve higher income soci­ety under our wilayah 10 years plan on PCDS2030.

The primary object­ive of for the train­ings are to upskill/retrain the logist­ics industry & the busi­ness com­munity to be com­pet­ent and pro­mote local busi­ness to com­pete in global mar­kets.

By com­pet­ing glob­ally, Sarawak will be more vis­ible on the inter­na­tional plat­form thus poten­tially bring­ing in more income for Sarawak. This will reduce the out­flow of the local work­force by cre­at­ing more higher pay­ing job oppor­tun­it­ies in Sarawak.

Through the organ­ised courses, par­ti­cipants will be able to have a bet­ter over­view of the pro­cesses involved in the main import­ing/export­ing mode which is by air, sea and land trans­port.
