Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi called on all employers to offer a starting salary of RM3,000 to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the National TVET Council chairman, said the proposed starting salary was appropriate as TVET graduates are skilled workers who have undergone skill courses. “Skilled workers will improve the productivity of the industry and this increased productivity will reduce the costs to produce the end products or services in the long run.
So, this is reasonable because they are trained workers that meet the demands of the market.”He said this to reporters after witnessing the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation for Transformation of TVET Programme between the government and government-linked companies and private companies at the Kuala Lumpur Industrial Training Institute here today.Ahmad Zahid said the minimum wage of between RM1,500 and RM2,208 is insufficient or inappropriate for TVET graduates.
