KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) is a dynamic organisation under the Human Resources Ministry that was established in 1993.
Governed by the Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Bhd Act 2001 (PSMB Act 2001), HRDF was given a mandate by the Malaysian Government to catalyse the development of a competent workforce that will contribute to Malaysia’s vision of a high-income economy.
Since its inception, HRDF has evolved in its role from managing a sizeable fund to becoming a one-stop-centre for providing novel HRD solutions to the critical mass of Malaysian small medium enterprises.
The custodian and authoritative institution is well positioned to offer robust and prudent solutions that will help Malaysia move up in rank on the Global Competitiveness Index by enhancing regional and global competitiveness and create an effective and efficient Malaysian labour market that will help propel the country towards a high income nation by Year 2020.
In line with the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP), HRDF remains committed in ensuring the creation and growth of quality human capital through efficient high-skilled training programmes and initiatives that would contribute to a 35% skilled Malaysian workforce and creation of 1.5 million jobs by Year 2020.
Additionally, HRDF is steadfast in encouraging employers covered under the PSMB Act 2001 to retrain and upgrade the skills of their employees, apprentices and trainees in keeping with the fast evolving global business landscape while meeting their individual company’s aspirations.
Most recently, with 19 new sub-sectors that have been added to the PSMB Act (in addition to the 44 sub-sectors), HRDF has assumed a greater responsibility to reach out to the corporates; educating and motivating them to seek the benefits and value of HRDF programmes and initiatives.
