Furthermore, the educational curricula have not kept up with the technological advancements and rapid adoption of modern technologies, further contributing to the skills shortage challenge.

These strategies aim to build a future-ready workforce, ensuring the sector’s sustainability and competitiveness in an increasingly technology-driven environment.
