Type of Collaboration:
Setting up of Marconi ATM Training Centre at MMU
Objectives:
To set up a training centre in FET, i.e. a regional training centre to run Marconi sanctioned training courses.
To train at least 40 Marconi clients in ATM courses for the next 12 months.
End-Product:
Setting up of Marconi ATM Training Centre worth RM1,500,000.
Detailed Description:
Marconi has donated ATM switches and equipment worth RM1,500,000 for setting up of Marconi ATM Training Centre in FET. Two FET staff have been trained in Marconi Training Centre in Hong Kong and have obtained trainer's status.
