Human Capital Development in Malaysian Aerospace Manufacturing Sub-Sector: A New Holistic and Sustainable Approach, S.K. Abu Samah

This document discusses human capital development in the Malaysian aerospace manufacturing subsector. It notes that while the aerospace industry employs around 65,000 workers, there are currently only 44 aerospace-focused training centers. The training programs cover technicians, mechanics, engineers, and other roles. However, with industry turnover growing from RM21.5 billion in 2006 to RM32.7 billion in 2013, there is high demand for competent workers. As such, the current education and training methods need to evolve to better meet the needs of the aerospace industry. The paper then proposes a new holistic and sustainable approach for developing human capital in the Malaysian aerospace manufacturing subsector.

Abstract. In Malaysia, the aerospace community can be divided into four main groups; manufacturer,
regulator and operator, support, and training. In total, the aerospace industry currently employs
approximately 65,000 work forces of which the commercial aviation is the largest employer with 27,300
people (42%), followed by MRO sub-sector at 10,500 (16%), aerospace manufacturing sub-sector at
6,400 (10%) and others (32%). Presently, there are only 44 aerospace focus training centers operating in
Malaysia. The training does covers the technician and mechanics, graduate engineers, cabin crews, air
traffic controllers, pilots and others. The Malaysian Aerospace Industry Turnover growth has been
gradually increased from RM21.5b in 2006 to RM32.7b in 2013. This has resulted in the high demand of
competent work forces. The current ecosystem of education and training methodology in Malaysia has to
evolve in order to cater for the aerospace industry needs. The paper presents a new holistic and
sustainable approach for the human capital development in the Malaysian Aerospace Manufacturing SubSector Industry
