KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 (Bernama) — Despite their vocational nature, subjects like accounting, journalism, and nursing are often not identified as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) subjects, possibly due to their higher perceived status, compared to professions typically seen as more ‘manual’.
This is one of the key takeaways from a national survey report on the perceptions versus reality of TVET conducted by the Financial Industry Collective Outreach (FINCO), which found that 96% of respondents were unaware of the full range of TVET qualifications available, with the majority believing that TVET graduates could only receive up to Certificate or Diploma level qualifications.
