Implementation of the Micro-credential Fee on Trainings by Human Resources Development Corp

HRDC disseminated a Employers' Circular (2/2022) on June 15 (https://hrdcorp.gov.my/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/2-Employers-Circular-No-2-2022_.pdf), stipulating that it will charge employers a micro-credential fee of RM300 per trainee per training for almost all training conducted, effective 15 August 2022. This effectively means that the employer will be upskilling fewer people in the organisation for the same amount that they have been contributing to HRDC on an annual basis.

We are conducting this poll to provide a swift response to the Human Resources Development Corporation (HRDC) and the Malaysian government regarding the agreement of employers to the implementation of the micro-credential fee. Your feedback and cooperation is very much valued.
