LIFELONG learners are the kind of people who have a burning desire for continuous self-improvement, and they aren’t necessarily working professionals who are seeking career progression. In fact those with a quest for knowledge include people of varying ages and professions.
The Human Resources Development Fund’s (HRDF) “Strengthening of Lifelong Learning for Skills Enhancement” aims to ensure a continuous supply of quality local human capital through effective initiatives that build and grow a world-class Malaysian workforce.
