KUCHING: The recent hydrogen fuel cell vehicle safety and awareness training highlights Sarawak Skills’ commitment to sustainable, forward-looking technologies and strengthens its position as a key enabler in the state’s transition to cleaner energy.
Executive director Hallman Sabri said the training aims to equip the participants with crucial knowledge and awareness of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (HFCV) technologies, with a strong focus on safety standards and handling practices.
“It is especially significant as hydrogen technology becomes an integral component of Sarawak’s broader environmental and economic agenda.
“Sarawak Skills is proud to be the only training centre in the state and national level to undertake a hydrogen-specific training programme.
“In fact, the first cohort of trainees came from Peninsular Malaysia. This not only aligns with the government’s green aspirations but also empowers our local talent with the skills needed for the hydrogen economy,” he said in a statement.
He added that the initiative comes on the heels of a strategic collaboration between Sarawak Skills and partners in China, a move that further cements the institution’s role in the development of hydrogen expertise.
“Through this international partnership, Sarawak Skills has gained access to advanced hydrogen training modules, technologies, and expertise, ensuring that local training standards meet global benchmarks,” he said.
The training programme not only supports local employment and technical upskilling but also serves as a foundational step towards building a sustainable hydrogen economy in Sarawak.
