Within the framework of this MoU, Quess Corp claims to oversee the operation of the Centre of Excellence (COE) at multiple locations. The primary objective is to anticipate demands in technology and industry sectors, taking into account the supply from formal education and similar ecosystems, the release mentioned.
“This collaboration is not just about the present, it is about building a strong foundation for the future. This is also how our government, industry and academia can come together to bridge the skill gap and create a talent pool that is ready to meet the growing demands.
