Under the agreement, the two organizations will collaboratively implement institutional capacity-building and training programmes, with a particular focus on soft skills, STEAM education, artificial intelligence and IoT applications, and Fourth Industrial Revolution–oriented skill development. The partnership also seeks to raise awareness among youth and entrepreneurs, promote foundational coding skills, encourage early interest in computer education from school level, and strengthen programming competencies through various initiatives.

The MoU signing ceremony was held on Saturday (10 January) at the Youth Hub Malaysia office in Kuala Lumpur. As part of the agreement, both organizations will jointly implement programmes aligned with the United Nations–declared SDGs, leveraging their respective expertise and institutional strengths to advance youth empowerment.

The agreement was signed on behalf of Youth Upskill Network – UNET by its Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Muhammad Altamish Nabil, while Pavel Sarwar, Co-founder of Youth Hub, signed on behalf of the Malaysian organization.

Officials also announced plans to organize national and international awareness programmes, workshops, education and certification initiatives, as well as technology-based hackathons involving children and adolescents.
