Employability of TVET graduates has reached 99% – Minister

The employability of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) graduates in Malaysia has reached 99% in recent years as their skills allow them to be offered job opportunities even if they have yet to graduate, reports Bernama.

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said this was in line with the ministry’s projection to concentrate on the skills sector so that it can build the country’s expertise with the strength of its own workforce, especially students at the vocational college level.

“This initiative should also be implemented together with other skills industries to ensure more effective and tangible results, especially in improving the skills of children in vocational colleges,” she told reporters after completing the inauguration of the Sandakan 2 Vocational College. Fadhlina said vocational colleges should not be left behind as the focus at the moment is comprehensive TVET and relevant courses in the educational institution need to be studied in depth according to the market demand.
