1,000 exiting MAS staff register with CDC since June 1

The Corporate Development Centre (CDC), created to support exiting Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) employees, has received about 1,000 registrations so far after commencing operations on June 1.

Chief Executive Officer Shahryn Azmi said next week the centre would be starting training courses for upskilling purposes, as well as arranging job interviews for those looking for new jobs.

"We will also help them prepare for these interviews," he told Bernama.

He said the CDC is committed to helping exiting MAS employees plan their next steps moving forward.

The CDC has also partnered with government agencies, including the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) and MyAngkasa Amanah Bhd, to provide advice and consultation on financial planning, credit management, investments and related topics.

The centre is a body set up by Khazanah Nasional Bhd as part of MAS' 12-point recovery plan.
