This blog post is from our themed series on Malaysian Contentpreneurship in conjunction with the Malaysian national day celebrations. This week, we’re highlighting Malaysian learners who are taking the opportunity to upskill online.The new normal has revealed that education is no longer a “one-and-done” event. As it is becoming evident that we need to regularly update our skills and knowledge for a fast-moving world, many Malaysians are also realising the wide range of opportunities presented by online learning and upskilling.Education providers and contentpreneurs from all walks of life too have leveraged on online platforms to make a difference: many have started running online courses as a way to share their knowledge and experience to inspire and help others.One such example is Norizan Sharif, whom we have written about in this article. After a successful career in the public sector, Norizan wanted to give back to the community by helping fresh graduates to enhance their soft skills.
