This study examines the effectiveness of the National Service Training Program (PLKN) 3.0 as a strategic platform for empowering Malaysian youth through leadership and technical skill development. PLKN 3.0 is a comprehensive initiative that combines basic military training with technical training. The first phase of the program involves 45 days of military training focusing on discipline, resilience, and leadership. Activities such as critical situation simulations, group training, and physical challenges are aimed at building mental strength and the ability to work in teams. Participants then proceed to the second phase, which involves technical training at colleges or universities. During this phase, they are exposed to specialised skills in strategic sectors such as digital technology, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing, making them more competitive in the global job market. The study also highlights the role of the Servant Leadership model applied in PLKN 3.0, with values such as social responsibility, teamwork, and integrity, forming the foundation of the program. This approach not only equips participants with technical skills but also fosters a sense of unity through social projects and community service. PLKN 3.0 is supported by a long-term monitoring strategy and the establishment of a monitoring committee to assess the program’s effectiveness regularly. This allows for adjustments to be made to ensure the program remains relevant to the needs of youth and national development aspirations. The study further highlights PLKN 3.0’s role in fostering national unity and a sense of national identity. Overall, this study finds that PLKN 3.0 plays a significant role not only as a platform for individual development but also as a catalyst for social and economic innovation. The implementation of PLKN 3.0 is a testament to the government’s commitment to ensuring youth development aligns with Malaysia’s vision of becoming a prosperous, advanced, and inclusive nation by 2030.
