WHAT IS 1MALAYSIA TRAINING PROGRAMME
The Most Honorable Prime Minister when tabling the 2011 Budget had announced the implementation of the 1Malaysia Training Programme with an allocation of RM500 million, which include an allocation of RM200 million from the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF).
The 1Malaysia Training Programme under HRDF is focused on one main purpose; to provide employees of PSMB registered employers the opportunity to upskill and/or reskill themselves.
Upskilling - Courses that are able to help employees in getting qualification at a higher level.
Reskilling - Courses that are able to help employees in getting new qualification.
QUALIFYING CONDITIONS
Employers who are eligible to participate must have sufficient levy balance. Employers with insufficient levy balance are also eligible to participate if their levy balances can cover at least 80% of the course fee. Employers with arrears of levy or unpaid interest are also eligible to apply.
SELECTION AND LEVY RESERVATION
Under the 1Malaysia Training Programme, employers do not have to seek prior approval from PSMB. Employers however are required to reserve levy through the online system for payment of course fees
DISBURSMENT
The course fee will be paid by PSMB to Alpha International Training & Consultancy on claim basis upon the completion of the training using PSMB Claim Form together with attendance list.
INCENTIVES
As an incentive for employers to send their employees for these trainings under the 1Malaysia Training Programme, the Government would reimburse 20% of the course fee into employers’ levy accounts after the completion of training. The incentive will be credited into employers’ levy accounts once Alpha International Training & Consultancy had submitted the claims for course fee.
