In October 2024, at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Day Malaysia, the region’s AWS Skills to Jobs Tech Alliance was launched. In collaboration with the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), the Tech Alliance aims to modernize tech programs of study at Malaysian higher education institutions, connect learners to in-demand tech jobs, and support the development of a highly-skilled tech workforce.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how we work and is reshaping the workforce of the future. However, a recent study conducted by Access Partnership for AWS revealed that 81 percent of Malaysia’s employers struggle to find the AI talent they need, despite nine in 10 stating that hiring AI-skilled talent is a priority for them. To address the nation’s AI skills gap, AWS and Jabatan Pendidikan Politeknik & Kolej Komuni (JPPKK), an agency under Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), teamed up to introduce new training initiatives targeting both educators and students to uplift Malaysia’s TVET (technical and vocational education and training) community.

Federal agencies typically collect, manage, use, and distribute a wide array of documents. Storing and distributing federal agency documents is often a complicated process; documents can range from structured formats to free-flowing documentation with personal identifiable information (PII) that needs careful redaction. And because federal agencies cover a wide breadth of domains, it is challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all approach for document processing. In this post, we explore an example of how a federal agency can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to design and deploy a solution that addresses this document processing challenge.

In the world of prescription drug monitoring, pharmacies rely on continuous access to data and software for responding to vital patient needs.
