Why It's Important?
TVET is increasingly recognized as a vital component in developing a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of modern industries. By focusing on practical skills and industry-specific training, TVET enhances employability and offers stable career prospects. This approach supports Malaysia's economic objectives by fostering innovation and competitiveness in key sectors. The emphasis on TVET aligns with global trends towards vocational education as a means to address skills shortages and boost economic resilience.
