DRB-HICOM U serves two major roles. As a private educational institution, DRB-HICOM U is committed to produce a cadre of skilled professionals to join the workforce in the automotive sector. It also serves as an institution which enables the DRB Group of Companies workers to continuously upgrade their skills and knowledge. Complementing the automotive industry through sustainable development of human capital is the primary goal of DRB-HICOM U’s establishment.
