Proofreader : Dokumen NOSS

Baru-baru ini, saya telah dipanggil oleh kontraktor/vendor untuk menyertai bengkel NOSS (Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaan). Ini merupakan tahun kedua saya dijemput sebagai proofreader. 

Bengkel ini melibatkan ramai ahli panel yang berpengalaman serta pakar dalam bidang masing-masing. Mereka berbincang, menyusun dan menghasilkan dokumen-dokumen penting yang akan dijadikan rujukan utama dalam menetapkan piawaian kemahiran pekerjaan mengikut keperluan industri.

Mereka telah melalui beberapa sesi untuk merangka dokumen tersebut, dan saya berpeluang menyertai di peringkat akhir proses ini. Rasa bangga jugalah kerana dapat menjadi sebahagian daripada kumpulan ini, walaupun sumbangan saya hanya kecil iaitu menyunting dokumen pada sesi akhir.

NOSS (National Occupational Skills Standard) ialah satu sistem standard kemahiran pekerjaan yang dibangunkan oleh Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) Malaysia. NOSS membantu institusi latihan, majikan, dan pekerja merancang program latihan kemahiran. Ia berfungsi sebagai rujukan untuk melihat kemahiran apa yang diperlukan bagi sesuatu pekerjaan, supaya mereka boleh tahu apakah yang perlu dikuasai oleh seseorang pekerja. 

Program berasaskan NOSS lebih menekankan kepada kemahiran praktikal dan latihan vokasional berbanding kelayakan akademik seperti SPM. Sektor-sektor yang paling ramai pekerja berkemahiran NOSS adalah pembuatan dan perkhidmatan. Sebagai contoh, seorang tukang kayu yang bekerja di sektor pembuatan mungkin menerima gaji rendah kerana majikan tidak yakin sepenuhnya dengan tahap kemahirannya tanpa sijil yang sah, walaupun dia telah bekerja bertahun-tahun dalam bidang tersebut. Contoh lain, seorang pekerja mekanik mungkin mahir membaiki kenderaan, tetapi tiada sistem standard yang mengiktiraf tahap kemahirannya. Majikan hanya boleh menilai berdasarkan pengalaman atau percubaan kerja, yang mungkin berbeza di antara satu majikan dengan majikan lain. Seorang chef yang belajar secara tidak formal, misalnya belajar daripada keluarga atau pengalaman sendiri, mungkin mahir memasak, tetapi apabila memohon kerja di hotel besar, dia tidak diterima kerana tiada sijil rasmi atau pengiktirafan kemahiran.

Dengan NOSS, peserta yang berjaya menamatkan latihan akan menerima Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM). Terdapat beberapa tahap sijil bergantung kepada tahap kemahiran yang dicapai dan setiap tahap ini membantu pekerja meningkatkan peluang pekerjaan dan kenaikan gaji dengan bukti kemahiran yang diiktiraf secara rasmi. Pekerja lebih mudah mendapat pekerjaan dengan gaji yang lebih baik kerana mereka diiktiraf sebagai tenaga kerja yang kompeten.

Malaysia Merdeka: From a Health Perspective

Since we are nearing Hari Merdeka and celebrating the month of Independence Day, there is much to appreciate—from the peace and prosperity of our sovereign country to its evolving economic, social, and cultural diversity. Since independence, Malaysia has made remarkable progress developing the healthcare system. During the pre-independence period, while urban areas had better access to healthcare facilities, these were still limited. Rural areas were more heavily impacted and had to rely on traditional medicines. The disparities in healthcare access between urban and rural areas were prevalent, with urban areas typically benefiting from better facilities and resources. This has resulted in unequal health outcomes and access to essential services. In the early years following independence, efforts were focused on addressing the healthcare needs of the population and expanding the healthcare infrastructure, which included the development of new hospitals and clinics in both urban and rur...

Nagomi Art : Hope and Healing

 I decided to try a Nagomi Art session just out of curiosity. Honestly, I’m not great with art, drawing, or even picking colours. But since I had some free time and the workshop was free, I thought, why not? After the class, I got curious and started digging into its history. Here's what I found: Norikatsu Hosoya, the founder of Nagomi Art, was inspired by a deeply personal experience involving a close friend who was seriously ill. During his friend's hospitalization, Hosoya created a pastel artwork of cherry blossoms to lift his friend’s spirits. He accompanied the gift with an invitation to see real cherry blossoms together once his friend recovered.  The gesture of hope and healing left a profound impact when they eventually fulfilled this promise. This episode opened Hosoya's eyes to the potential of art as a tool for emotional healing and a source of optimism, which later became a cornerstone of the philosophy behind Nagomi Art. 7 Facts about Nagomi Art 1. Origins: N...
