ABOUT US
The
establishment of
University
of
Malaya Centre
for
Continuing Education (UMCCed) in 1998 has further made it
possible for expanding its contribution towards the
development of expertise in various fields of the corporate
sector.
The
rapid transition of our country (and the entire world) to a
knowledge-based society and the challenges from competing
economies all over the world necessitate a new approach to
education and training that is adaptable, flexible and
attuned to the need of lifelong learning.
In this era of knowledge, education is therefore no
longer the prerogative of students but it has become a
lifelong process for individuals of all ages and backgrounds
to upgrade their knowledge and skills beyond basic
compulsory education and the current work environment. The
constant re-education and gaining of new skills and
competencies have thus become a benchmark of the caliber of
a country’s citizenry to respond to new challenges and
demands posed by a highly competitive and fast advancing
global market.
UMCCed
recognizes the importance of lifelong learning as a
prerequisite to the knowledge-based economy. Under this new
approach of learning, efforts are currently undertaken to
incorporate coaching programmes into education and training
so that they are less structured, more participative,
personalized and dedicated to the learners’ needs and
interests.
As
the pioneer education body in Coaching Programmes in
Malaysia
,
University
of
Malaya Centre
for Continuing Education (UMCCed) is committed in developing
its brand name as the main player and training provider in
Coaching in
Malaysia
. We foresee that Coaching is the next big thing that will
help leaders and managers in
Malaysia
and will give all the answers to the development of
organisations.
UMCCed
takes the initiative to spearhead the project in coaching to
provide an alternative tool for implementing human capital
strategic plan in any kind of industry in
Malaysia
. This is in addition to conventional training and
consultancy services that are normally available in the
industries. As in the practice, the agenda of skill training
is predetermined by trainers and expertise imposed by
consultants. In coaching, focus is on helping individuals to
“learn what it takes” for business owners or corporate
people to improve existing capabilities, set meaningful
goals, and be accountable on results.
UMCCed
is registered to HRDF and SMIDEC as an approved training
provider. We utilize a combination of training, teaching,
counseling and mentoring, customized to the unique
requirements of each business industry or organisation in
Malaysia
. All the coaching programmes conducted by UMCCed are
eligible for HRDF claims under the Skim Bantuan Latihan (SBL),
subject to prior application to HRDF by the
employers/companies.
