Ministry of Youth and Sports & Microsoft Malaysia Partner to Nurture Future of Malaysia’s Youth

By Kari Sherrodd, senior PR manager, Citizenship and Public Affairs

At the 4th Global Entrepreneurship Summit, Microsoft Malaysia and the Ministry of Youth and Sports announced an intent to partner through Microsoft YouthSpark to address the opportunity divide facing young people in Malaysia — a gap between those who have the access, skills, and opportunities to be successful and those who do not.

This partnership will be part of Microsoft’s global YouthSpark initiative, which aims to create opportunities for 300 million youth around the world over three years through partnerships with governments, nonprofit organizations, and businesses.
