Teams from any department building an AI pilot to prove ROI.
AI Capstone Project
- Scalable to project scope
- HRDC claimable
- Capstone
In short
What is the AI Capstone Project program?
A hands-on capstone where teams build a working AI module on a real business problem. Define the use case, prepare the data, build the pilot, and present measured impact.
Your team builds a working AI module on a real business problem: define the use case, prepare the data, build the pilot, and present measured impact.
Most AI never reaches production: nearly two-thirds of organisations have not begun scaling AI across the enterprise, and only about 6% capture significant value (McKinsey, The State of AI, 2025). The capstone is built to cross that gap. Source: McKinsey, The State of AI, 2025
This is where training becomes ROI. A Penang manufacturer reached a projected US$2 million in annual savings after an AI bootcamp and six pilots built on its own line. See a case study.
What your team will be able to do
- Identify a high-value use case for AI, ML or DL.
- Define and prepare the datasets the use case needs.
- Build, test and refine a working AI workflow.
- Validate output for accuracy and reliability.
- Present and document the module for rollout.

Who runs it
This program is run by industry practitioners who have shipped AI inside regulated enterprises across banking, government, manufacturing, and telco. It is led by Peter Kua, our AI and data science lead, a core contributor to Malaysia’s National Big Data Analytics Framework under MDEC and co-author of Malaysia’s AI Adoption Blueprints in 2019 and 2020. You are learning from people who have built this in production, not read about it. Peter’s commentary on AI adoption and workforce capability has appeared in The Star, theSun, Singapore Business Review, e27, and DagangNews, and on RTM Berita’s Tech Today.
The capstone is where training becomes proof. Teams leave with a deployment-ready module and adoption guidelines.
Common questions
Is this program HRDC claimable?
Yes. It is claimable through HRD Corp under SBL and SBL-Khas. GrowthPro Asia is an HRDC-registered provider, and we handle the claim paperwork so it stays audit-ready. For most registered employers the levy covers most or all of the cost.
Do we need a technical or coding background?
No. This is a no-code and low-code program built for business teams. You work in tools your people already use, on your own tasks. We handle the technical depth so your team can focus on applying AI to real work, not writing software.
Is it delivered in-house or as a scheduled cohort?
Both. Most teams run it in-house over two days, built around their own use cases, which is where adoption holds best. A scheduled cohort is available when you want a smaller group to join alongside peers from other organisations.
Will it actually stick after the two days?
That is the design goal. We measure adoption, not attendance, define the target workflows up front, and provide post-training support so AI use holds on the job. Most AI rollouts underdeliver on adoption, not tooling, so that is where we focus.
How is the cost set?
We do not publish a fixed price. Cost depends on in-house versus scheduled delivery, group size, and how far we customise to your sector and use cases. It is HRD Corp claimable, so for most registered employers the levy covers most or all of it. Tell us your group size and format for an indicative quote.
How is the Capstone different from a workshop?
A workshop teaches; the Capstone ships. Your team takes one real business problem from use case to a working pilot with measured impact, so you leave with something running, not a certificate.
How long does it take and how is it scoped?
It scales to the project. We size it to the problem and your team’s availability, staggered over weeks where needed, so the pilot is real and the learning sticks.
