Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is not a new matter within our country's education system. TVET was established to meet the current industry demands in order to make Malaysia an advanced nation. Strengthening TVET will contribute to the country's economic growth by producing skilled workers in various high-demand fields. The direction of Technical and Vocational Education is also included in the Malaysia Education Development Plan 2013-2025, as part of the fourth wave. Several challenges in Technical and Vocational Education and Training have been identified, including the management of training institutions, which encompasses curriculum understanding, physical facilities, and financial resources. It is important to prioritize these aspects to bridge the gap between TVET graduates and the industries offering job opportunities. The government has entrusted two different agencies with overseeing the implementation of TVET in Malaysia, namely the Department of Skills Development (DSD) and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). Proactive steps to improve the TVET ecosystem align with the 12th Malaysia Plan and meet the requirements outlined in the People-Centric Economic Model under the classification of Education and Human Resources Renewal.
