Developing a formidable workforce

To date, over 1,200 Malaysian SMEs have utilised ‘MyFuture’, and HRDF is set to enjoy even larger participation with the introduction of ‘MyFuture 2.0’ this year.

APPROXIMATELY 70% of Malaysian workers are not covered by any structured training funds or programmes, and most of them are employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

According to Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) chief executive Datuk CM Vignaesvaran, more than 80% of the HRDF’s registered employers are SMEs.
