By 2030, Malaysia is projected to be a high income nation with an average economic growth and opportunities which will attract businesses and investments from all over the world. The potential for job creation and income growth will also lead to a demand for more skilled workers in the future.
To achieve this goal of becoming a high income nation with skilled workers, TVET must be upgraded as an institution that can impart new skills, improve existing skills, and improve employability that comes with living wages. This would entail improving the technology used in skills training, enhancing quality controls, equipping teachers adequately, providing more conducive learning environments, and making resource management more efficient.
Zero Reject Policy
Implementing a policy of ‘No Discrimination, No Rejection’ for all registrations into the TVET system.
Independent Coordinator
Establishing an independent central authority with the involvement of Trade Associations and Practitioner Associations to manage TVET institutions. This indirectly ensures that accreditation can be standardised.
Industry Partnership Through ‘Place to Train’ Concept
Partnering with industry players that provide services for sectors related to TVET. This will be done to conduct training based on the concept of providing both placement and training (Place to Train) while enabling trainees to acquire the proper accreditation. More TVET training centres will be built in areas lacking strategic industry partners to facilitate access to training.
OpenCreds
Using the OpenCreds framework to facilitate and empower TVET pupils, apprentices, practitioners, trainers, and professionals to support them acquiring academic accreditation and undergraduate qualification and consequently their future careers.
School to Work Transition
Facilitating School to Work transition programmes to produce more school pupils who are directly involved with the working world and provide them the opportunity to get more job opportunities with better pay based on skills.
