Hands-on training helps youths find employment

Teoh says UOA’s programme targets youths from the B40 group, with more than 90% coming from low-income backgrounds.

TECHNICAL and vocational education and training (TVET) could be a game changer for low-income and special-needs students, as well as unemployed graduates, given the rising demand for technical skills in the job market.

While many from these disadvantaged groups already face challenges in their studies, it is disheartening to note that even those with diplomas and degrees often struggle to find jobs.
