Ministry of Human Resources	Jabatan Pembangunan Kemanusian

JPK was established under the Ministry of Human Resources on 2 May 1989, for the purpose of promoting and coordinating skills training strategy and programme in keeping with Malaysia's technological and economic development needs. JPK's main objectives are-

To establish a coordinated skills training system attuned to Malaysia's development goals and needs
To promote the development of skills training
To certify skills competence

The policy changes were fundamentally geared towards improving the quality and productivity of the country's skilled workforce, thus enhancing the competitive position of the Malaysian economy at large. The changes also sought to co-ordinate more effectively the diverse skill training activities carried out by both the public and private sectors in the country, and to gear them towards meeting the actual needs of the Malaysian industry. The basic thrusts of the reforms were-

Skills Training Opportunities in Malaysia

In the late 1980s, rapid economic growth in Malaysia led to an acute shortage of skilled manpower, especially in the manufacturing sector. The skill shortage worsened into the 1990s, leading to the establishment of the Cabinet Committee on Training. In its Final Report published in 1991, the Cabinet Committee recommended sixteen (16) broad policy directions in order to reform and strengthen the training delivery system. The proposed measures are grouped under three (3) main policy objectives-

Improving the responsiveness of public training to market demands
Expanding the role of the private sector
Strengthening linkages between training and technological changes
