Skali: 400 companies to manage government websites

Remember the Skali story and how it has been awarded the contract to train unemployable ICT graduates to manage government websites? Well now there's been more development.

It appears now that the 8000 unemployable ICT graduates will now be invited to participate in a training program where they will be paid RM500 per month and after that should they show any aptitude, they will be recruited as apprentices where they will earn from RM1200 to RM4000 per month.

Provided they stay the course and show that they are worthy of further development, these apprentices will then undergo the entrepreneurship course where they will learn basic business and marketing skills. That could be 3 years after.

The goal?

"Aimi said that at the end of the contract period, more than 400 companies would be set up to take over the managing of the government websites. " (Star Intech, 5 Oct 2007).

So, do the math. According to Skali themselves, there are around 450 government websites.

Skali seems to think that an entire company needs to be set up to handle 1 website. Wow. Good business and entrepreneurship sense.

We all know how long a business can last with just one customer and one service don't we. And especially if that one customer is a government agency.
