PETALING JAYA: The Youth and Sports Ministry is committed to create a new generation of quality graduates with its National Youth Skills Institute’s (IKBN) Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) module.
Its Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman (pic) said the blueprint, dubbed IR4.0 TVET-IKBN, would be adapted for IKBN undergraduates based on the Teaching Factory module from Germany.
He was commenting on media reports quoting Bank Negara’s 2018 annual report, which found that monthly salaries for diploma or degree holders had dipped since 2010. The study also found that fewer people were being hired for high-skilled jobs.
In a Facebook post on Thursday (March 28), Syed Saddiq outlined the scenario he hoped would materialise with the IR4.0 TVET-IKBN blueprint in place.
“Imagine, 94% of the IKBN graduates being offered job opportunities after graduating.
“Upskilling and reskilling are the recipe for graduates today. Through the TVET programme, graduates will be matched with Industry 4.0 needs,” he said.
Noting that there are 22 TVET institutes nationwide, Syed Saddiq said that the ministry would get more industries involved with TVET programmes.
“The ministry has managed to sign 41 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Federal level and 192 MOUs at Youth and Sports Skills Training Institute (ILKBS) level, which is part of the TVET module,” he said, adding that Petronas, Gamuda Berhad and Proton are among those involved.
Syed Saddiq also wrote that the ministry, through TVET, had carried out a ‘bootcamp’ programme for the graduates, where 465 job offers from over 15 companies were provided to these graduates.
“The issue is close to my heart, and the ministry is committed to creating quality graduates,” he added.
He also called on the various industry players to collaborate and help the youth be part of the high-impact industry.

Perkembangan terkini: Setakat Feb 2020, cuma sebuah Pusat Bertauliah JPK swasta, SG Akademi yang telah ditauliahkan untuk program ini. Ambil perhatian bahawa banyak pusat latihan yang menawarkan kursus drone piloting/mission handling, namun mereka tidak mengguna pakai Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaan yang telah dibangunkan bersama oleh Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran, JPK dan CAAM (Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia)
Peluang pekerjaan dalam industri teknologi drone merentasi pelbagai industri sedang melonjak dari peringkat asas ke peringkat mega-trend dengan cepat kerana semakin banyak industri telah mula menyedari potensi, skop, dan skala capaian global melalui penggunaan teknologi drone.
*Biasiswa (tajaan SG Akademi) diberikan kepada 20 pelajar perintis pertama! Jaminan pekerjaan!

Pihak Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran, JPK juga memberi perhatian kepada bidang muzik agar bidang itu turut mendapat pengiktirafan dari dalam dan luar negeri.
Usaha membangunkan Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaan (NOSS) bagi bidang muzik adalah untuk membolehkan kerjaya berkenaan dinilai secara profesional oleh pelbagai pihak.
Pembangunan NOSS ini sangat penting memandangkan muzik antara bidang pendidikan yang semakin mendapat sambutan daripada semua peringkat umur,” katanya ketika berucap pada Majlis Pelancaran NOSS bagi Industri Pendidikan Muzik di Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA)
Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran, Suimi Abd Majid
Pelaksanaan NOSS bagi industri muzik menyasarkan tenaga pengajar dalam bidang berkenaan agar memperoleh sijil yang boleh digunakan sebagai kelayakan dalam bidang kerjaya berkenaan.
Kita tahu semua tenaga pengajar bidang muzik sememangnya sudah mahir dan pakar, tetapi tidak semua daripada mereka mempunyai sijil yang mengiktiraf kemahiran yang dimiliki itu. Mereka hanya perlu mengikuti kursus jangka pendek di pusat latihan berdaftar dan bakal memperoleh sijil pengiktirafan yang membuktikan kemahiran mereka.Sijil itu bukan sahaja diperakui oleh pihak industri di negara ini tetapi juga di peringkat antarabangsa.
Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran, Suimi Abd Majid

SEREMBAN: Technical and vocational education and training (TVET), which emphasises skills, is a good option for furthering studies, said Human Resources Minister M Kula Segaran.
He said this was in line with the country’s aim to produce more skilled workers as currently the percentage of skilled workers stood at only 28% when the target by 2020 is 35%.
“Skills training is very important and the country’s progress depends on it.
“I hope our young will pick TVET as the first choice. Parents should not solely be looking at sending their children to universities because TVET is no less important,” he told reporters after attending a “Human resource ministry with the people” event in Rantau here today.
He also said involvement of the Chinese and Indian communities in TVET was rather lukewarm, standing at 1% and 5% respectively, and that the ministry was intensifying efforts to encourage higher participation from them as well as the Orang Asli community.
He added it was easy for TVET students to get jobs after completing their courses, citing the take-up rate now stood at 94%.
On other matters, Kula said the ministry held “Meet-the-Customer” sessions at its headquarters in Putrajaya every Tuesday from 8am to 10am, whereby not only top ministry officials would be present but he himself.
In conjunction with the progamme, the minister also made a walkabout at the new market in Rantau town.

SPM certificate holders will find plenty of courses and career options at the Education Fair 2019 at Mydin Mall in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, on Saturday and Sunday.
The fair will feature 32 colleges, universities, technical vocational education and training (TVET) institutions in over 50 booths from 11am to 6pm.
SME Association of Seberang Prai president Francis Wong said the timing would be just right for SPM holders to look for suitable courses and career options.
“This is perfect time for students to explore their options in further studies.
“The location is also strategic as there are plenty of car parking lots. It is convenient for the public,” he said during a press conference at Komtar recently.
Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy said the fair organised by the state government is aimed at helping school leavers and SPM candidates in deciding on the most suitable study course to pursue after completing secondary education.
“It is also the first time we are introducing TVET in this expo held for the third time since 2017.
“Students and parents may see TVET as ‘inferior education’ but TVET actually has a wide scope in the market and is packed with potential,” he added.

“Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) should be rebranded as an attractive pathway for SPM leavers, especially for those not academically inclined”
Many parents, especially Chinese, would not even consider TVET/skills courses as it’s been looked as a 2nd class education. However, do you know that advanced countries like Germany, it is better to be a TVET graduate, armed with skills that have high demand in the market such as crane operator, underwater welding than university graduate (especially general degrees like social science, business studies, marketing etc) with no job prospect at all. AND do you know that 80-90% technical skills graduates are employed within 6 months upon graduation?
Perspective aside, awareness is also an issue as there are still many parents & children unaware about the prospects. Even if they know, most do not know where to seek advice or know where these TVET institutions are.
Worry not, we’re here to help. If you think you/your child/nephew or niece is more suitable to pursue the TVET pathway, kindly fill up your details here.
PS: 1. If you/your child insist on pursuing academic pathway but has poor SPM results, read here on what can be done 2. Most TVET institutions accept students from 16 years of age. 3. If budget is really a constraint & you can’t even afford to have a study loan, you may consider public TVET institutions but there are disadvantages in studying in those institutions (you may read more at the link given)
Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said the perception that TVET as the second option should stop as TVET graduates have proven to have gained popularity in the industry especially in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0). — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim
JITRA, March 17 — Young people have been urged to consider the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for all its advantages while furthering their education, especially in terms of graduates’ marketability.
Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said the perception that TVET as the second option should stop as TVET graduates have proven to have gained popularity in the industry especially in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0).
“TVET has been through the current paradigm shift and I welcome the industry players to ensure the training carried out to meet the needs of the industry today.
“Therefore, the government transforms and empowers TVET so that it will be the best choice for parents and students as well as to enhance their job marketability,” he said this in his speech at the opening ceremony of the TVET Education Skills Development @Kedah Carnival here today.
“Candidates of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), especially those who with results that may not be up to mark, I hope they will take the advantage of this TVET because of the wider job opportunities for those who have the skills to work in the industrial sector in the state,” he said.
So, the day of reckoning is over and you’ve gotten your SPM results. Poor SPM results?
If your results aren’t as you expected, or if you fell short on some subjects that you thought you could have scored, it’s okay to feel gloomy or guilty that you didn’t utilise more of your time to study.
But after a week of being down in the dumps, it’s probably time for you to pick yourself up again. After all, SPM is just a small test in the grand scheme of things. Chances are, no one is going to harass you about it before the year ends.
So instead of crying about it, here are 5 things you can do if your SPM results are not as good as you anticipated.
#1. Appeal your grades
If you are seeking to meet the entry requirements for your desired pre-university course, or if you think your grades are right below the borderline to a higher grade, you can try getting your paper marked again.
With a fee to part with (RM100 per subject), you can have your papers remarked and hopefully (fingers crossed!), you will be able to attain a higher grade that will open doors to various opportunities.
Assessment and Examination Unit / Sector (Sektor / Unit Penilaian dan Peperiksaan)
State Department of Education (Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri)
Examination review counter in the Board of Examination Malaysia in Putrajaya (Kaunter Semak Semula Lembaga Peperiksaan Putrajaya)
You need to make sure that your form reaches the Board of Examination Malaysia’s office within 30 days after SPM results are announced or else it will not be processed. Your reviewed results will be posted to you 2 months after the appeal deadline. Ensure that you attach the following required documents:
1 verified copy of your official SPM 2018 results
A verified certificate or copy of your pentaksiran berdasarkan sekolah (PBS) or school-based assessments by your school principal or Pegawai Kerajaan Kumpulan A
*Incomplete forms will not be processed.
#2. Retake your subjects
If you are not confident that having your papers reviewed will improve your grades, or if you want to aim for a higher grade, perhaps you can choose to resit your papers.
For a step-by-step guide on repeating your SPM subjects, click here.
If you’d like to retake papers for other subjects, you will need to register as an SPM private candidate and sit for the papers with the rest of the present year SPM students in November / December.
You will need to consider this option thoroughly as it will take another year for you to obtain better grades. By then, your peers may have already completed a year of their pre-university studies so be sure to make it count!
Resitting papers is usually for students who are looking to enter specific pre-university or degree courses. So if you are looking to study a foundation course and you’re just shy of one credit, this is an option you can consider!
#3. Pursue diploma or certificate courses
If you’re missing a couple of credits from your SPM slip, you can also consider other pathways, such as pursuing a diploma or certificate. After all, they can still lead you to selected degree courses.
For a start, a diploma only requires 3 credits at SPM. Upon completion, you can then progress to the second year of a relevant degree. This makes your total study duration similar to taking a foundation then a degree.
Certificate courses, on the other hand, typically require only 1 credit, as long as you pass Bahasa Melayu and History. Completing a certificate will allow you to progress to a diploma and subsequently a degree.
So if you think retaking your papers will not change your grades, you may consider these alternatives, provided that you meet the entry requirements.
If you have poor SPM results (don’t have enough credits) but intend to pursue an academic diploma, some University or University Colleges also accept Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) as an entrance requirement.
No worries, if you don’t have any credit or worse still, failed in your SPM (parents force you to complete SPM despite your interest is in skills based programs), you can always pursue your interest in skills/TVET courses.
Remember, pursuing skills/TVET courses should not be your last resort but must be your interest. Studies has shown that graduates with skills are much more employable – 80 to 90 per cent of them are able to get a job after six months upon graduation (vs graduates from academic background. Those taking cert/diploma/degree in business studies, marketing, information technology, social science courses will find it hard to land a job, unlike those who take Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) courses.

IPOH, March 16 — M. Kulasegaran said he is leaving the appointment of a new chairman for the Technical and Vocational Education Training Empowerment Committee (TVET) to the Cabinet.
Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar vacated the position along with all her other positions in PKR in December, following allegations of nepotism in the government.
The human resources minister also said there was no rush to choose a replacement.
“The committee can still go on despite not having its chairman there,” he said.
He said there are mechanisms in place to ensure the committee is able to perform its functions temporarily even without a head.
“My ministry and the Education Ministry are working together. At the end of the day, it is the officers who are doing the thing,” he added.
The committee is tasked with improving the country’s vocational education system.
Kulasegaran also explained that the PKR MP’s departure did not disrupt the committee’s review.
“We will have a conference in either April or May to present the findings of the committee,” he said.
The minister then credited the committee with improving awareness on vocational training and its innovations.
He said his ministry was also aiming to increase vocational training enrolment by increasing TVET hours.
“Now its operating hours is from 8am to 5pm. We are discussing with TVET directors to extend its hours to 11pm so that those working can study part time there.
“There are many types of training available. We are also getting specialised lecturers,” he added.

Comment: Extend operating hours to 11pm? Great idea but perhaps efficiency should be the priority, otherwise expenses may baloon with more officers ‘makan gaji buta’.
