The PENJANA HRDC-Training Incentive Programme, the HRDC's latest economic recovery initiative, highlights how creating work opportunities and training play a critical role in Malaysia's struggle to get back on its feet in the midst of the COVID-19 high on unemployment and employability issues.

This initiative was launched to accommodate the need for industries as well as individuals to help them generate income during the COVID-19 crisis that has possibly undergone considerable disruption and caused poor results.

The key goal of this initiative is to solve problems of employability and boost self-employment, opportunities for the Gig Economy that will equip employers and workers to take on new positions, reskill and upskill their employees and the ability to deliver new business models relevant to a post-MCO environment. In order to remain competitive and profitable post-MCO, HRDC also aims to sustain Malaysia's production of human resources.
