Smart Partnership is one of the strategies in the agenda to strengthen the National Green Technology. This smart partnership covers the National, State, Local Government until the International level.

a)    Green Jobs

The Ministry has been working with the Department of Skill Development (JPK), Ministry of Human Resources (MoHR) to develop the Occupational Analysis (OA) and the National Competency Standard (NCS) on Green Technology. OA and NCS documents have been approved by the MoHR in 2010. Occupational Analysis (OA) is a systematic process to collect the information on the important tasks from the specific work. The NCS was developed to list out the generic competency of the occupations in order to create the green jobs. International Labour Organization (ILO) also helped out in providing a "roadmap" for green jobs in Malaysia. The "roadmap" is to provide direction to the industry in various relevant sectors on the importance of Green Technology job in securing our future.

b)    Integration of green topics in the syllabus and curriculum to all levels of Schools and Higher Education Institutions

The Ministry has conducted a measurements analysis and curriculum related to Green Technology in pre-school, primary and secondary schools.
