As an EPF Management Trainee, a sense of public service is vital. Being part of an organisation that safeguards retirement funds for millions of Malaysians is a noble task. As a Management Trainee in the organisation, you will need demonstrate the fund’s core values which are integrity, teamwork, continuous improvement, and customer centricity.
