HRD Corp Claimable Programme

Applied AI for Business:
From Baseline to
Enterprise Integration

A one-day, hands-on programme that takes your team from "what is AI" to a working AI assistant built on your own business — creativity intact, strategy sharpened, and a plan you'll actually use on Monday.

AI
The Gap

Most SME teams know AI exists. Almost none have wired it into how they actually work.

Reports still take an afternoon. The same email gets rewritten three times. Strategy decks are built from scratch every quarter, and "AI adoption" stays a slide in someone's plan instead of a habit on someone's desk.

The barrier isn't awareness — it's translation. Nobody has shown your team how to move from a general AI tool to a workflow built around their actual role, their actual data, and your actual business.

1
Programme, 4 Sessions, One Day

From AI fundamentals to a working assistant your team builds themselves — then a strategy your business can act on. Delivered as a single HRD Corp claimable programme.

What Changes

By the end of the day, your team works differently.

Not theoretically — measurably. Here's the shift this programme is built to create.

Before the session

Busy, but not high-value

  • AI feels abstract — a tool "someone else" uses
  • Prompting is guesswork, not a repeatable skill
  • Creativity and AI are treated as opposites
  • Strategy discussions stay disconnected from daily tools
After the session

Built, working, and theirs

  • Every participant has hands-on experience building an AI assistant
  • A working framework for prompting that transfers to any tool
  • A clear view of where human judgment still leads
  • 3–5 actionable ways to integrate AI into their own role
Programme Structure

One programme. Four sessions. One working day.

This is delivered as a single HRD Corp claimable programme — the four sessions below are sequential parts of that one day, not separate offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you request a proposal.

Is this only for technical teams?+
No. This programme is built for managers, executives, and business leaders across any department — no coding or technical background required. Every activity is designed around real business tasks, not IT skills.
Is it really HRD Corp claimable?+
Yes. A Training Academy is an HRD Corp Registered Training Provider and this programme is 100% HRDC claimable for eligible Malaysian employers. We handle the documentation on your side.
Are the 4 sessions sold separately?+

What if participants are at different skill levels?+
