Human Resources Development Board (HRDB)

• SBL (Skim Bantuan Latihan)
The main funding scheme of the Human Resources Development Board (HRDB). Employers are allowed to conduct training either on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of both. Employers may also conduct training by engaging internal, external or overseas trainers. Trainers or training providers are not required to register with HRDB.

• SBL-KHAS (Skim Bantuan Latihan-Khas)
This scheme is mainly to assist employers who are facing cash flow problems to continue with their
retraining and skills upgrading of their workforce by using existing levy balances. This scheme is available to all employers registered with HRDB. Under this scheme, employers need not pay or pay only a small upfront cost, depending on the rate of financial assistance for the program. HRDB will directly debit from the levy accounts of employers to pay the training fees incurred to training providers with the authorization of the employers concerned.

• PROLUS (Program Latihan Yang Diluluskan)
This scheme requires training providers to register with HRDB. Upon registration, they may submit their training programs which are relevant to employers’ training needs for the award of the ATP (Approved Training Programmes) status. Employers can select any training program with ATP status, send their employees for training without the prior approval of HRDB and claim for reimbursements upon the completion of training, subject to the terms and conditions imposed by HRDB.

Small and Medium Enterprises/Industries are eligible for a 80% training grant from SMIDEC. In addition, the remaining costs can be claimed through the Human Resource Development Fund (HRDF), if the company is registered with the Human Resources Development Board (HRDB).
