Institut KWSP (formerly known as Institut Latihan Keselamatan Sosial KWSP (ESSET))
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) boasts its proud status of being the world’s oldest provident fund. Being an organization of highest maturity, EPF has fully explored various strategies that further protected its role in protecting the contributions of employees. This eventually led to the management’s decision that members’ interests would be further enhanced through higher level of professionalism in leadership and management. Hence, the EPF decided to broaden the scope of its internal training division and to elevate its status into an actual training institution. Thus, in year 1995, the Employees Provident Fund Social Security Training Institute, otherwise known as ESSET, was born.
ESSET is the acronym for EPF Social Security Training Institute. ESSET’s main focus is to train and develop EPF’s staff, which will lead to enhance the knowledge and skills so that they are competent to produce results expected of them to fulfi ll EPF’s vision and mission. With respect to the awareness on the unique role in training as well as a social security organisation that is of worldclass calibre, ESSET subsequently sets for itself the task of achieving the highest level of excellence in the field of training.
