The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre has partnered with United Kingdom's City and Guilds (C and G) to launch a training initiative, ‘Competent F and B Specialist In Business Events Industry’ which will take talent development capabilities to another level and enhance the global recognition for its in-house training programmes.
Ten
of its in-house trainers were awarded appointment letters from C and G, which
will enable them to start their training sessions after the signing ceremony
for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Convention Centre and
C and G on 21 March 2019.

The
convention centre’s human resources team was applauded by its General Manager
for securing the collaboration with C and G, which has awarded over 500
work-based qualifications via 8,500 colleges and training providers in 81
countries worldwide.
According
to its Director of Human Resources Muhammad Vickneswaran Abdullah, phase one of
the training initiative will commence in May.
It
will cover culinary, beverage, food safety, people management and banqueting
skills while the module for its phase two will be more venue-centric.
Focusing
on event coordination, audio-visual and information technology-related
competencies, meeting designs and set-up, it will be rolled out by mid-2020.

our contribution to the overall development and enhancement of the Malaysian
hospitality and business events industry.”
The
convention centre also unveiled its new learning management system, EduClick,
which was developed in collaboration with GO1, which specialises on online
learning and education.
With
EduClick, employees will be able to enhance their skills “on-the-go” with 60%
of their learning done online and the remaining 40% will be practical.
Vickneswaran
said over 100 employees have registered for the first round of this learning
management system.
