Oracle and MyDIGITAL Corporation plan to train 300,000 students and professionals in Malaysia in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and related digital skills by 2029.
The collaboration supports Malaysia’s Digital Economy Blueprint and National Fourth Industrial Revolution Policy, and aims to boost employability, support career growth, and strengthen the country’s digital talent pipeline.
MyDIGITAL Corporation is a monitoring agency under the Ministry of Digital that oversees the implementation of both policies.
The programme will provide free digital training and foundational certifications to help learners prepare for future jobs.
Delivered through Oracle MyLearn, Oracle University’s digital learning platform, the programme will offer more than 200 hours of learning and certifications over three years.
The training will cover areas such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OCI Generative AI, OCI Data Science, Oracle APEX, OCI DevOps, and OCI Security.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said,
“Strong investment momentum in Malaysia’s digital economy is reinforcing the country’s ambition to become an AI Nation by 2030 and cementing its position as a leading digital innovation hub in Southeast Asia.
MyDIGITAL Corporation’s strategic skills development initiative with Oracle, alongside the Oracle Cloud Malaysia Region, will help build a high-caliber digital workforce while accelerating innovation and supporting Malaysia’s long-term digital and economic growth.”
Oracle MyLearn is set to be integrated into Rakyat Digital, a platform powered by MyDIGITAL Corporation, by June 2026.
The training will include structured learning paths based on skill level and goals, with badges and professional certifications available.
The offering will build on the free digital awareness and literacy modules already available on Rakyat Digital.
Royce Teoh, Managing Director of Oracle Malaysia, said,
“By unifying every layer of the AI stack, Oracle helps organizations across industries harness AI innovations, transform operations, and build critical digital skills.
As Malaysia aims to become a regional AI Nation by 2030, the Oracle Cloud Malaysia Region and our collaboration with MyDIGITAL Corporation can strengthen the local digital talent pipeline, foster a vibrant digital ecosystem, and advance the nation’s AI ambitions.”
