However, following low success rate of trainees under this skill acquisition scheme, the company in 2014 reformed the implementation strategy to focus more on equipping the youths with skills in the relevant industries which will enable them to effectively compete for jobs anywhere in the world. In this, company is guided by the understanding that acquisition of vital skills that can make one secure gainful employment is the bedrock of financial independence or self-sustenance.
