TECHNICAL and vocational education training (TVET) can lead to more lucrative jobs compared to some fields more suited for the academically-inclined.

Yet, very few people pursue this education pathway due to it being regarded as less prestigious. To counter this perception, the Government has been actively promoting TVET to society through various programmes and initiatives.
