Two key initiatives to enable scholars sponsored by the Public Service Department (PSD) have been launched with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak stating that they have a key role in driving the nation's transformation.
The two initiatives - Talent Acceleration in Public Service (TAPS) and Scholarship Talent Attraction and Retention (STAR) - were developed to provide scholars with attractive opportunities to build their careers in priority areas of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) upon their graduation.
The PM said TAPS was an innovation by PSD as part of a larger effort to transform the civil service into a career of choice; under this programme, top PSD scholars would be selected to work on high-priority public policy issues and projects.
TAPS is a collaborative initiative led by the PSD with the Razak School of Government and Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad to attract and nurture the best and brightest from among PSD scholars into the civil service. Top PSD scholars would be assigned to senior civil servants who will act as their mentors. The first batch of this programme would involve 40 top scholars and commence in October this year.
