The Japan-Malaysia Technical Institute (JMTi) was first established in 1998 as a technical collaboration and joint-cooperation between the governments of Malaysia and Japan. The two countries decided then to set up the institute with the primary objective to produce highly-skilled industrial technologists who can adapt and face the challenge of the technology’s rapid growth as well as the future globalisation in the fields of advanced technology in manufacturing, electronics, computer and mechatronics.

This objective is in line with its assigned responsibility to provide post-secondary training and tertiary technology education to supplement the shortage of skilled workforce, as well as to enable the existing skilled ones to further upgrade their vocational training to the highest standards so as to meet skilled manpower requirements in high-technology industries by year 2020.

Besides serving as a training provider, JMTi also assists in the development of local industries and in particular the SMIs, through the provision of supervisory and continuous skills training for their employees as well as individual technical consultancy services for their entrepreneurs and managers.
