To align with national goals, HRD Corp has prioritized "Focus Area" and "Industry-Specific" courses. These categories allow employers to claim training costs "as per charged," moving beyond standard fee ceilings for high-impact skills.
Focus Area courses are built around nine strategic pillars, including Industry 4.0, Green Technology, Fintech, Blockchain, and Future Technology. These programs are designed to provide hands-on, technical training that prepares the Malaysian workforce for the digital economy.
Industry-Specific courses cater to the unique requirements of a particular sector. Both categories undergo a verification process by the Industry Expert Committee (IEC). Once verified, employers can apply for grants based on the actual quote provided, ensuring high-value training is accessible without general fee constraints.
