The K Economy · Techvisory
Lead training · free on-ramp to Edison TKP AI courses

The courses teach the tools. This training tells you which to take.

K-economy is the flagship prerequisite for ai-courses.edisontkp.com. Work the six modules on this page. Leave knowing where you sit on Malaysia’s K, which AI training to buy, which to skip, and how the levy is supposed to pay for the next seat.

The gap this training fills

Edison TKP’s AI catalogue already teaches how: prompts, personality-mapped communication, automation systems, Claude / MCP production work, and HRDF-claimable digital marketing. Sister properties live today at Super Prompt, AI999 Training, ClaudeX, SkillForge, PromptLib and the digital-marketing series. None of them start with Malaysia’s K.

They do not place a clerical worker at 92% exposure, an M40 technician at 56%, or a software developer at the 1.0 index. They do not warn that a second codified certificate is the thing being automated. They do not tell an HR lead that ~3.7% of HRD Corp places went to digital and ICT. Super Prompt even says there are no prerequisites. There are. This is them.

How the funnel works

  1. Place yourself on the K. Position, not income. Occupation, not job title. Task, not tool.
  2. Name the move that actually protects you. Tacit over codified. Complementarity over “low exposure.” Data literacy over coding.
  3. Fund the next seat. If you are an employee of a registered employer, the levy is the default route. Do not pay retail for what the levy already covers.
  4. Continue to the skill courses. ai-courses.edisontkp.com is the hub. Pick the track the module-6 map names — not the one the market is advertising to parents and graduates.

Six modules

Self-paced. Each module is a page you already have on this site, read in order, with a single exercise. Do not skip the caveat on module 1.

1 · Read the K correctly

Both arms move at once, so the average sees nothing. Do not lead with “inequality is rising”: the Gini fell from 0.404 to 0.390. The argument is firm productivity, job mix, and the 2025–26 cost stack.

Exercise. Write one sentence that would survive a DOSM correction. If it mentions the Gini rising, rewrite it.

Open The K

2 · Place your occupation

Exposure peaks at diploma holders aged 25–34, not the poorest. Clerical support 92%. Technicians 56%. Software developers, financial analysts and application programmers score 1.0 — the maximum.

Exercise. Audit last week by task, not title. Mark each task codified (could be in a manual) or tacit (could not).

Open jobs & exposure

3 · Place your industry

The split runs inside industries. Insurance and takaful 91.8% exposed at high pay. Data-centre revenue +43.1% with almost no permanent jobs. Fastest-growing percentages are not the largest absolute gains.

Exercise. Put your employer on upper / split / lower arm. If you work in “ICT,” say which: data centres, computer services, telecoms, or e-commerce.

Open industries & careers

4 · Fund the next course

G2 is the sharpest actionable gap: funded demand pointed away from the exposure. O1 is redirect the levy to an AI-transition programme for the exposed 45%. O4 is M40 Defence — nobody sells to supervisors and senior clerical.

Exercise. If you have an HR or L&D function: ask what share of last year’s levy went to digital and ICT, and which exposed roles were left out.

Open gaps & opportunities

5 · Six moves that protect a worker

Tacit over codified. Complementarity, not low exposure. Data literacy, not coding. Judgement, creativity, leadership, presence. Physical or personally-licensed work. Then claim the levy.

Exercise. Name the one move you will make this quarter. What not to do: add a second codified qualification.

Open the six moves

6 · Choose the path into the courses

The skill layer lives at the AI courses hub. The table below maps occupation to the right track — and names the wrong purchase, which is usually the one being sold hardest.

Exercise. Circle one row. Continue only on that track.

Path map into the AI courses

Use this after modules 1–5. The destination is ai-courses.edisontkp.com. Where a sister property already teaches the skill (ClaudeX for production Claude/MCP, Super Prompt and AI999 for applied business AI, the digital-marketing series for GEO/AEO), the hub is still the front door.

If you areDo not start withTake the courses as
Clerical, admin, customer service, finance operations — 1.65m workers, 92% exposedAnother diploma, a coding bootcamp, or “become an AI engineer”Applied AI for your current tasks: judging outputs, rewriting workflows, building a prompt library for the job you already have
M40 technicians, supervisors, senior clerical, middle managers — 988,000, 56% exposedExecutive AI-strategy theatre, or a second transferable certificateSupervising AI and role redesign: complementarity, exception handling, human-edge skills. This is M40 Defence
Builders and technical staff who already ship software“Learn to code harder.” Software developers score 1.0 exposure — the maximumProduction AI: Claude, MCP, agents, evaluation. The ClaudeX-grade track on the courses hub, used to complement judgement, not to collect another stack certificate

Claims discipline

This lead training is a public evidence programme. It is not described as HRD Corp claimable. Claimability attaches to approved courses delivered by a registered provider — Edison TKP holds TTT/20717; programme approval is a separate fact, stated on the courses site, not here. We do not guarantee a job, a wage premium, or that AI will destroy a round number of Malaysian jobs. No credible body finds economy-wide AI job destruction. The finding is redistribution.

What this training will not do

It will not replace the skill courses. After ninety minutes you will not be a prompt engineer, an MCP developer, or an automation operator. You will know whether those are the right next purchases, and you will have a sentence you can take to HR. That is the whole product.

Sources and the catalogue this on-ramp is built against

Evidence on this site. Every figure in the modules is sourced on the destination page: DOSM, PERKESO EIS, World Bank & ISIS Malaysia AI exposure brief (July 2025), HRD Corp 2025 disbursement data, PwC AI Jobs Barometer 2026, OECD, IMF SDN/2026/001. The Gini caveat is on the home page on purpose.

Destination catalogue. ai-courses.edisontkp.com is the front door. It maps occupation to live sister properties that already cover the how: AI999 Training (one-day identity-first AI for SMEs, RM999) · Super Prompt (prompt, automation, monetisation; advertised as no prerequisites) · ClaudeX (Claude Code, Skills, MCP, dispatch playbooks) · SkillForge (skill-to-income) · PromptLib · Digital Marketing Series (GEO/AEO/SEO, HRDF-claimable bootcamps) · trainer.edisontkp.com. The missing layer on the individual properties is the Malaysian K-position: who is exposed, which purchase is a trap, and how the levy should move. That layer is this lead training.
