CIDB move to turn out green-collar workers

CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) Malaysia and Bayer Material Science AG, a Bayer Group company, will work together to develop modules to train skilled workers who will be expected to raise the level of sustainability in the construction sector.

CIDB Malaysia chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Judin Abdul Karim said: “If we want to ensure sustainability, we must start by working with young people and empower them with the knowledge and skills to achieve this.

“We envision a future where all construction industry professionals and workers will become green-collar individuals who will not compromise on quality and sustainability in executing construction projects. With Bayer’s technology and expertise, we believe we can start to instil this in our youths.”

In addition to training green-collar workers, CIDB and Bayer will jointly promote a sustainable construction industry in Malaysia, leveraging on Bayer’s expertise in innovative products and technology, especially in building affordable housing.
