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.

The Role of Writing in Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

As we go through life and deal with all sorts of emotions, writing can be a really helpful way to pause and reflect. Putting things down on paper helps us make sense of how we’re feeling. That’s why in psychology, they always advise to engage in regular journaling or reflective writing, as it can help us process emotions, gain clarity, and develop a greater understanding of our thoughts and behaviours and invites individuals to explore their feelings without judgment. Journaling can serve as a personal outlet, allowing someone to vent about a tough day and process their emotions. Writing is more than just a way to express thoughts or share ideas. Whether it’s journaling, blogging, or even crafting a social media post, writing allows us to connect with ourselves and others on a deeper level. Writing is a great way to understand and manage on our feelings and share them, making it easier for us to express ourselves and connect with others. Blogging creates a sense of community, where wri...

Decathlon giving back to community

 I recently attended a free Zumba class at the Decathlon PJ branch, which is part of their regular weekly activities that include Zumba, yoga, and more. These activities are often offered at a minimal fee, with occasional free classes for the community, perhaps once a month. The atmosphere was lively, with families playing ping pong and children riding small bikes within the venue, adding to the sense of community. This initiative by Decathlon is a fantastic example of how a business can give back to local residents while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. I haven’t seen other sports retailers in Malaysia adopt a similar approach. While Decathlon remains a business, they’ve successfully integrated CSR activities by fostering a sports culture through the free or affordable use of their facilities, like badminton, basketball, and futsal courts in selected branches, including those in Selangor, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Classes like Zumba, Pound, and Yoga/Pilates are also availa...

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...
