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...

Flowers are always delightful to see, smell and touch. Imagine a garden of flowers that gather plenty of species, with green scenery as background.

Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery : Not Just About History

Sometimes you want to go out but you are so bored with shopping malls and want to do something different. Now here is the place that you should consider to visit if malls are not your outing spot for the weekend. Check out  Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery and I promise it is not a mundane place. Plus point, it is FREE entrance! Can walk in, no longer compulsory to book prior to visit. Only for group booking of more than 20 pax are compulsory. There are 6 galleries to observe and the venue is children friendly. They even have children’s gallery. What you need to know:- §  Though you can walk in, still need to register there. §  Parking is RM5. You can still go there by LRT Bank Negara or KTM Bandaraya. Though the walk seems to be bit far in my opinion due to a bit hilly pave for 10-15mins walk. §  A quick spot check on your bags/ hand carry. §  You cannot bring bags in the venue. There are free lockers to put away the bags or just leave i...
