About Leadership Institute of Sarawak Civil Service

The Leadership Institute of the Sarawak Civil Service can trace its origins to the State’s human resource development ever since the colonial government. After independence, human resource development continued to be an important agenda, but with emphasis on the provision of training and continued education for the state civil service (SCS). Formed in 1975, the organisation was first known as State Public Service Training Centre (SPSTC) to coordinate human resource development activities for the SCS. It was later renamed as Centre for Modern Management (CMM) to reflect its new strategic role in the area of human capital development in March 1994. With a history of being a State training department before corporatisation, it had also inherited some of the values and norms of the traditional civil service. Over the years, successive Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) have played their part in shaping the work culture and direction of the organisation to what it is today. The pillar of the organisation’s strength remains its human capital, and some 25 per cent of its workforce today are the organisation’s pioneers. Having trained more than 150,000 state public officers in various competency areas, Leadership Institute of Sarawak Civil Service is also providing a platform for aspiring officers to enhance their career development through certificates and master-level programmes with reputable local and international learning institutions. Indeed, some of these officers have now assumed senior positions in the SCS, and are actively contributing to the State Transformation agenda.
