Cyberjaya, 5 May 2023 – Awanbiru Technology Berhad (Awantec), a leading technology and talent digitalisation enabler is offering its training courses on e-LATiH, the Human Resource Development Corporation's (HRD Corp) digital learning platform.

Awantec is working in partnership with Skillsoft, a widely recognised global leader in the e-learning industry which offers a variety of engaging and effective learning experiences, including interactive courses, videos, books, and simulations. Awantec was awarded Skillsoft’s “APAC Partner of the Year award 2022” in recognition of Awantec’s commitment and success in delivering upskilling programs.

Skillsoft’s Percipio platform allows Awantec to offer self-paced learning designed for entrepreneurs, digital marketers, project managers, developers, and human resource&nbsp;professionals at an affordable cost for all industry sectors with its emerging roles and skills identified based on global economic needs. The programs are suitable for both SMEs and large organisations, allowing them to manage, monitor, and track employee upskilling progress.
