Seven INTROP researchers went to visit Wood Industry Skills Development Centre (WISDEC) on 21st May 2019 in Kota Kinabalu. INTROP delegates were briefed by WISDEC’s officers on the training they offered specifically on wood-based product development. The visit includes a tour at their laboratory and workshop area, to see their facilities and products that the trainees are working on. WISDEC as a training agency under Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) was established during Sixth Malaysian Plan (1991-1995) to carry out technical training, assist in product development, organizing furniture designs, and coordinating Malaysian Skills Competition. During the visit, both parties were discussing and exchanging views and experience on how to strengthen the trainees’ and workers’ skills in the wood-based industry.
