Bridging education and employability

Each year, Malaysia produces close to 300,000 graduates, many of whom are actively seeking meaningful employment and opportunities to enhance their skills for the digital economy. KodeMyFuture is a shining example of how public–private collaboration and skills-based learning can transform lives — empowering Malaysian youth with employable digital skills that are in demand today and essential for tomorrow. We are deeply grateful to the Government of Malaysia and its agencies, particularly the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), MDEC, PERKESO for their agility and foresight in responding to market needs and creating real impact in the lives of so many graduates.”
Dato’ Sri Dr Mohammed Azman Bin Dato’ Aziz Mohammed, Group Chief Executive Officer, PERKESO, said, “In a world driven by technology, employability depends on adaptability. Programs like KodeMyFuture align with MYFutureJobs’ mission, of helping Malaysia’s graduates adapt to an increasingly digital workplace by enhancing their capabilities and mindset. This initiative supports our mission to future-proof Malaysia’s talent pipeline and promote meaningful employment among graduates.”
Anuar Fariz Fadzil, Chief Executive Officer of MDEC said, “We are pleased to witness this TCS initiative as it embodies the public-private partnerships essential for talent development. It’s a direct investment in future-proofing the skills and expertise our digital economy needs.”
“By creating a digitally inclusive nation where every graduate can thrive, we are actively building the next generation of AI-native Malaysians and laying the groundwork for our AI Nation 2030 ambition.” said Fadzil.
Driving inclusive, sustainable growth
TCS launched KodeMyFuture in Malaysia as part of its global youth skilling and employability initiative under the TCS Purpose4Life program. The initiative reinforces TCS’s long-term commitment to supporting national goals in digital education, inclusion, and sustainability.
By building digital literacy and coding expertise among Malaysia’s youth, KodeMyFuture directly addresses the skills gap that often limits employability among new graduates. The program’s participants have already demonstrated success, with many securing positions across technology, financial services, and manufacturing sectors.
Beyond immediate job creation, the program nurtures a generation of tech-savvy professionals who can drive innovation in both the public and private sectors. With Malaysia targeting to become a high-income, innovation-led economy by the end of the decade, initiatives like KodeMyFuture serve as vital enablers of that vision.
