I am confident that TalentCorp will greatly benefit from the tech advisory solutions provided by NSDC International. This partnership offers valuable opportunities for mutual learning and growth for both the countries.” The partnership will focus on two primary areas of cooperation: the digitalization of Malaysia's talent ecosystem and the implementation of digitally verifiable credentials.
