Premium wage for TVET grads, not minimum wage, Zahid tells employers


KUALA LANGAT: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates must be given premium wages and schools should allow for early exposure to TVET, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said that the minimum wage does not suffice as TVET graduates are highly skilled workers with specialisations in expert fields and should be appreciated by employers.
