Overview
The evolving workforce structure and technological change demands stronger and more continuous connections between training and their respective outcomes. Redefining the training landscape by transforming the traditional training market into a ‘Contestable Training Market’ is required to support on-going learning innovation and quality.
There are three (3) main focus areas to achieve the desired Contestable Training Market :
There are three (3) main focus areas to achieve the desired Contestable Training Market :
- Performance Based Contracting;
- Transparent Criteria for Training Provider Accreditation; and
- Information on Training Provider Performance and Quality.
Moving forward, HRDF has introduced the HRDF Training Effectiveness Evaluation (HRDF-TEE) to ensure continuous improvement of HRDF’s training courses and schemes/initiatives through a structured evaluation mechanism that can help in making learning and development more effective and efficient.
Evaluation Framework
The Evaluation Unit, Research and Development Department of HRDF has formulated the Evaluation Framework to enforce and expand the implementation of HRDF-TEE.
Output and Outcome Assessment
HRDF-TEE is a holistic approach in assessing specific measures for training courses and schemes/initiatives divided into two (2) different assessments: Output and Outcome. The higher the level, the more valuable the information and significance it has to the overall training courses and schemes/initiatives.
1
Output Assessment
It assesses immediate reaction of trainees and able to capture the training experience from trainees’ perspective. Issued to trainees on the final day of the course, it measures course quality, trainees’ learning experience towards the training delivery and resources, and customer service of the training provider through HRDF’s’ standardised Output Assessment.
2
Outcome Assessment
It is an overall result of the training implemented after a specific duration. It assesses the actual understanding and the usage/application after the training. Issued to trainees at least six (6) months after the course ended, it measures whether trainees have successfully achieved the desired objectives of a specific scheme / initiative through identified leading indicators / learning objectives.
Learning Outcomes must meet the SMART approach criteria, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.

Progressive Rollout
The HRDF Training Effectiveness Evaluation will be rolled out progressively to all HRDF Strategic Initiatives and Operational Initiatives by the second quarter of 2020.
*
Phase 1
Phase 1 is a small-scale pilot implementation phase that has been commenced in second quarter of 2019 that focuses on four (4) HRDF Strategic Initiatives Pillars namely Pre-Employment, Employment, Post-Employment and Learning Ecosystem and Landscape.
*
Phase 2
Phase 2 constitutes the expansion phase of the initiative. Nationwide HRDF stakeholders’ engagement is scheduled, starting from the third quarter until the end of 2019.
*
Phase 3
Implementation of this initiative will begin in the fourth quarter. This is a temporary process until HRDF completes the online assessment platform.
Roadshow
During this pilot phase, several stakeholders’ engagement sessions have been scheduled from August until end of 2019. Stakeholders are encouraged to actively participate in those sessions for better understanding and implementation of HRDF Training Effectiveness Evaluation.
