He continued, "Our aim is to build a competent workforce equipped with green skills — achieved through the identification, upskilling, and reskilling of individuals — to meet the escalating demands of the green economy.” The KESUMA Green Skills and Green Job Fair, organised by TalentCorp and PERKESO respectively, will be held from 25 – 27 April 2024 from 10am – 5pm at the Avenue K Mall, Kuala Lumpur.
