HRDC Funding

HRD Corp, or Human Resource Development Corporation, is an organisation in Malaysia focused on enhancing the skills and capabilities of the Malaysian workforce. It operates under the Ministry of Human Resources and plays a crucial role in facilitating human capital development across various sectors.

HRD Corp Funding

HRD Corp provides funding to support training and development initiatives undertaken by employers or training providers. This funding aims to encourage the upskilling and reskilling of employees, thereby increasing their productivity and employability. The primary objective is to bridge the skills gap and ensure that the Malaysian workforce remains competitive in a globalised economy.

How HRD Corp Funding Works

• Training Programs: Employers or training providers can propose training programs that align with HRD Corp’s objectives and priorities.
• Funding Application: Applications for funding must be submitted to HRD Corp for review and approval. The proposals should outline the training objectives, curriculum, expected outcomes, and budget.
• Approval Process: HRD Corp evaluates each application based on criteria such as the relevance of the training to industry needs, the potential impact on participants’ skills, and the sustainability of the training program.
• Funding Disbursement: Upon approval, HRD Corp disburses funds to cover a portion of the training costs. The amount of funding provided depends on various factors, including the type of program and the number of participants.
• Monitoring and Evaluation: HRD Corp monitors the implementation of funded programs to ensure they meet the intended objectives. Post-training evaluations may also be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training.
