Abstract

Efficient management of training programmes within a public training institution necessitates systematic planning and execution to attain programme objectives and ensure substantial impacts on participants. Despite the aspirations for a rural institution in Malaysia to become a comprehensive training centre of excellence, a review of its performance from 2016 to 2020 revealed a shortfall in reaching benchmark standards. This study employs qualitative methods, including document analysis, focus groups, and interviews, to identify and address issues and challenges affecting the governance of training programmes at a rural training institution in Bangi, Malaysia. The findings highlight 18 key challenges, such as inefficient human resource management, programme success weaknesses, and the absence of a long-term strategic plan. The study recommends developing a comprehensive strategic training plan, enhancing coordination and communication, establishing systematic participant selection processes, updating and maintaining training modules, reducing reliance on external experts, and improving financial allocation strategies. These insights provide valuable guidance for enhancing the management of rural training centres dedicated to human capital training and research, serving as a reference and benchmark for improvement.
