Support and options for lifelong learners
YOUR quest for knowledge does not have to end with donning your graduation gown. Lifelong learners embed a burning desire for self-improvement throughout their lives. Though the term may seem especially applicable to the degreed graduate in the workforce with career progression in mind, lifelong learning is necessary across ages and educational as well as professional backgrounds.
The Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) programme, 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.
Such initiatives include capitalising on studying while working. With strong governmental support, lifelong learning is taking a step forward. An important consideration now is to ensure a successful endeavour, because lifelong learning requires studying that is parallel to life as well as professional commitments.
Management and Science University (MSU) offers breakthrough ways for working adults wishing to further their studies. A wide range of programmes is offered with the student’s convenience as well as her educational and professional background in mind.
Lifelong learners from all walks of life may access MSU’S range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and choose from a variety of study modes to fit their situation best: whether to attend classes on weekdays, weekends or in the evenings, or opt for virtual learning that runs via video conference supported by online discussion.
Lifelong learning is vital for everybody and not just for the insatiably curious. Make lifelong learning a part of yourself, advance in your professional life and gain immense personal fulfillment.
