Hundreds of courses given free on e-LATiH

PUTRAJAYA: A new e-learning hub, e-LATiH, was launched by the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) as part of efforts to assist Malaysians during this difficult period.

It offers free access to hundreds of skills development and educational-based courses.

A collaboration between HRDF and Go1, one of the largest international e-learning aggregators, HRDF said e-LATiH would be available to all Malaysians until Feb 5,2022. It began yesterday.

Malaysians are encouraged to access the courses at https://elatih.hrdf.com.my/.

“Through this collaboration, e-LATiH will benefit Malaysians with free access to more than 200 industry-driven training courses customised to the needs of the Malaysian industry.

“As these courses are provided by an international non-profit aggregator, the courses are in English for now, ” a joint statement issued by HRDF and the Human Resources Ministry noted yesterday.

HRDF is expected to add more content in the coming weeks in various languages, including Bahasa Melayu.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said this initiative was crafted to encourage Malaysians to adopt learning and knowledge acquisition as part of their everyday routine.

“Malaysians have to continue to strive in a world that has become exceedingly competitive, ” he said, pointing out that only those who prepare for the future are setting the foundation for future success.

Meanwhile, HRDF chief executive Datuk Shahul Hameed Dawood said although HRDF was set up to service its levy-paying stakeholders, the e-LATiH platform is HRDF’s way of giving back to all Malaysians.

“As the custodian of training and development in Malaysia, we want to add value and add to the current skills set of every Malaysian, ” he said.

He said employees and individuals will have the opportunity to select their preferred and relevant courses from skills development to personal growth through these online training courses. — Bernama
