dc.description.abstract | The environmental issues have been the focuses of the environmentalists and governments
for decades around the world. The universities and colleges in Malaysia are encouraged to
produce graduates who aware and sensitive to their surroundings especially to the engineering
and technology courses because industrials –light or heavy - have been identified as the main
contributors to the air and water pollutions. In the 10thMalaysian Plan report, the government
has stated that it wants to create the environment for the unleashing economy growth. The
government also intends to nurture, unleash and retain the top talent. This conceptual paper
discusses on the appropriate actions to be taken by the engineering and technical educators in
developing green talent that can perform as the ‘green-collar workers’ in the companies globally.
These green-collar workers can adapt and innovate by creating new jobs, products and processes
to unleash the economic growth. | en_US |
