IMP also of the opinion that the lack of skilled and experienced workforce is one of the critical factors that hinder technology transfer in generating new technologies. In this regard, the Government of Malaysia under the Sixth Malaysia Plan (1991 - 1995) established the Wood Industry Skills Development Centre (WISDEC). Funding for these projects was channeled to the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) specifically to train skilled workers in the wood-based industry.
