The National Human Resource Centre (NHRC) is a think tank established by HRD Corp to provide strategic and operational HR advisory support for Malaysian industries. It aims to elevate the skills and capabilities of HR talents in Malaysia by introducing new courses, certification and validation, as well as working with strategic partners, researchers, experts and industry professionals.

As a think tank, the NHRC will also play a pivotal role in influencing and shaping HR policy decisions at the national level. Through continuous industry dialogue and key research into HR matters and its related disciplines, NHRC seeks to understand the current and evolving needs of Malaysian talents and industries.
