Wee: TVET courses the way to drive growth with skilled workers

KUALA LUMPUR: Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) courses are not seeing high demand in Malaysia, even as skilled workers are crucial to driving the country’s economy, said Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

The MCA president said while TVET was one of the ways to produce technical and vocational talents to fill the pool of skilled workers in the country, enrolment has been on a downward trend since 2017, far lower than 39.5% in China and 48.7% in Europe in 2019.
