As this project is delivered by the National eLearning Center in partnership with other government entities, including but not limited to, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and private sectors for Upskilling and Reskilling of the current and future workforce. This project can be replicated by other nations who are looking for upskilling and reskilling through an efficient and integrated approach.
