If you’re trying to figure out what career to pursue, it could be helpful to know which jobs are most in-demand in Malaysia. Check this list to find out what they are.
Malaysia must ensure a high-quality flow of talent supply to ensure a robust economy. This means maintaining a productive workforce and making sure there are no imbalances across the key sectors that drive the country’s economy.
To address this, the Critical Skills Monitoring Committee was established under the 11th Malaysia Plan to study skill mismatches in the labour market. As a result, the Pilot Critical Occupations List (COL) was published. The COL monitors and informs us about the most sought-after occupations by industry in Malaysia – here’s a look at the 42 jobs listed in the COL across six key sectors for 2015/2016:
Oil & Gas Sector
|
Electrical & Electronics Sector
|
Telco & Multimedia Sector
|
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) & Global Business
|
Financial Services Sector

Accounting Sector

More about the COL and the Critical Skills Monitoring Committee
As part of efforts under the 11th Malaysia Plan to address skill mismatches in the labour market, the Critical Skills Monitoring Committee (CSC) was established, jointly led by TalentCorp and the Institute of Labour Market Information and Analysis (ILMIA), MOHR. One of the CSC’s key initiatives is to construct a COL that will be evidence-based and reflects the most sought-after occupations by industry, which may also be hard-to-fill positions.
The pilot COL covers six key economic sectors: Electrical & Electronics, Oil & Gas, Information and Communication Technology & Global Business Services (ICT & GBS), Telecommunications & Multimedia, Financial Services and Accounting.
