摘要：Malaysian youth are a significant group in steering and shaping Malaysia's future. Consequently, the government introduced many approaches to enhance and expand the potential of the youth. The youth development approach is founded on believing that young people thrive when developmentally supported across all community sectors. Youth development is best promoted through activities and experiences that help youth develop social, ethical, emotional, physical, and cognitive domains. Most youth development approaches can be promoted in Malaysia through the international youth exchange program and a few other programs such as Perdana Fellows Program, Malaysian Youth Parliament, and Malaysian Youth Consultative Council. The international youth exchange program is the most anticipated program among Malaysian youth. The international youth exchange programs focus on exposing youth to global networking, knowledge, and skills. However, to get involved in any international exchange program, a person (youth) needs to go through the selection process. The selection process is vital in order to select a competent youth. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that participating in organised and structured programs will positively impact the participating youth. Moreover, Positive Youth Development (PYD) can be achieved by elevating the 5Cs of PYD through the programs. Henceforth, this concept paper will thoroughly explain the competence of the youth and its significance on the PYD through the international youth exchange (IYEX) program.
