To address the issue of unemployability amongst underprivileged graduates, the Prime Minister launched the Skim Latihan 1Malaysia (SL1M) on 1 June 2011 as a private sector led CSR where currently companies are sponsoring 2 months soft-skills training with 6 - 10 months on-job-training to the participating graduates. To date, the Human Capital Development Section, Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister's Department (EPU) which coordinates the SL1M programme has secured the commitment of leading companies providing placements for unemployed graduates. All companies whether major or small players should contribute in this CSR project to help groom and enhance the employability of the trainees. It is by way of securing an employment that the graduates could improve the livelihood of their underprivileged families. The private sectors and the Government are collaborating to ensure the success of this CSR initiative. To further encourage greater corporate participation, during the Budget 2013 keynote address; the YAB Prime Minister was pleased to announce that from 1 June 2012, companies participating in the SL1M programme will be entitled to a double tax deduction incentive on allowances and training expenses incurred. Interested companies may submit their applications and proposed programme plan to the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister's Department (EPU) for approval. Companies that are endorsed by EPU are entitled to a double tax deduction on monthly allowance of not less than RM1,000 paid to graduates for a maximum period of a year including expenditure and fee incurred to conduct training for the graduates. The total amount of deduction allowable for training purposes shall not exceed RM5,000 for a year of assessment. All SL1M qualifying companies, programme and modules must be endorsed by EPU. Malaysian graduates who are interested to join the SL1M programme must possessed a minimum qualification of a Bachelor's Degree and have been unemployed for at least 6 months after graduation.
