Nordin: “We need a new model which minimises the involvement of the ministries managing TVET issues.'
MAJOR changes are required to improve the nation’s fractured technical and vocational education and training implementation, industry players say.
He added that TVET implementation has long suffered from having “too many cooks who spoil the broth”. Students, he said, should also be introduced to a more hands-on approach with these important technical and vocational skills at an earlier age, so that their interests can be identified and skills nurtured.
But in the Malaysian context, vocational training is often seen as a skills-based, industry-focused career training alternative to the usual academic education path. This, he added, would undoubtedly require resources, which is why, he stressed, it is crucial for everyone in the TVET sector to regroup and restructure their operations.
“If we do not get the youths back into academic and vocational training centres, we will have many unskilled workers out there. Without any proper certification, it will be difficult for them to find employment,” Tajudin added.This is because TVET allows you to acquire skills quickly to keep up with changing industry demands, he explained.“Its ease of entry and practical nature is of great benefit regardless of which industry you are looking to join,” said Tajuddin.
Vocational training is the foundation of creating a practical and skilled workforce for various careers. Individuals with vocational training are better at problem-solving, and at effectively using the resources available to them. TVET has really helped me throughout my career, as much of my practical experience in electronics and hardware made it easy for me to dissect, diagnose and resolve complicated issues.
> Deputy Prime Minister and National TVET Council chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said training modules would be put in place for artificial intelligence, as well as sectors and areas related to the 4.0 and 6G industrial revolutions, as they were among the industries that could offer training to ensure students’ employability.
> Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said Special Task Force to Facilitate Business was looking into expanding programmes aimed at providing opportunities to TVET trainees.
