Don’t Just Train—Transform Your Team for the Digital Age
In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, Malaysian companies are turning to HRD Corp not just out of obligation—but because it’s a smart move.
With the rise of AI, automation, remote work, and digital tools like Canva and Google Workspace, upskilling your team is no longer optional—it’s essential.
And thanks to HRD Corp, this transformation is now more accessible, affordable, and impactful than ever.
The Trends Driving HRD Corp Training Demand
- The Rise of Digital Tools
From Google Workspace to AI like ChatGPT and Canva, companies are adopting digital tools at record speed. But tools are only as good as the people using them. That’s why more HR departments are focusing on digital literacy—from automation to design thinking. - HRD Corp Expansion Act
Since the expansion of the PSMB Act in March 2021, more employers across various sectors (with as few as 5 employees) are now eligible to register and claim training grants. This means even small businesses can afford to offer top-tier training. - Government Support for Future Skills
Malaysia’s push toward IR4.0 and digital transformation is backed by policy—and that includes the training ecosystem. HRD Corp is part of that national push, ensuring Malaysian companies stay competitive globally.
