Participants of GETS-WRP will undergo comprehensive training in communication, teamwork, leadership, and workplace etiquette.
They will also gain industry exposure through internships with Government-Linked Companies (GLCs), statutory bodies, government agencies, and private firms.
Additionally, workshops on business development and digital entrepreneurship will provide them with knowledge for the gig economy.
