The Human Resource Development Corporation has established its first Training and Community Development Centre in Tapah with the aim to support the local community in career progression after higher education and TVET.
Areas that will be supported include upskilling and reskilling programmes which will be across a broad range of areas geared at boosting the marketability and employability of community members.
Speaking at the launch event, the Minister of Human Resources, Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, said that the establishment of the Training and Community Development Centre here in Tapah is another government effort to empower local communities while raising the bar for Malaysia’s human capital development efforts.
“The centre will also assist community members in preparing for admission to higher education institutions, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions and National Dual Training System (SLDN) programmes.
Managed by 10 HRD Corp employees comprising local champions from various Orang Asli tribes, the training centre will also focus on improving the community’s standard of living through needs and skill gaps identification research and analysis. Findings from the study will be used to roll out viable and sustainable needs-based programmes.
Located at Pusat Perniagaan Akasia 2, Tapah, Perak, the Training and Community Development Centre will start operating on 1 November 2022.
