PETALING JAYA: While a university degree is often sought after by school leavers, experts say Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is one segment to be explored due to the increasing demand for skilled labour.

Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the demand for skills and TVET graduates is increasing in the labour market.

According to the Statistics Department’s Labour Market Review for First Quarter 2022, skill-related underemployment showed a 36.9% mismatch between occupation and qualification. "Gone are the days where someone should only be working within his comfort zone, for instance, the education that they’ve acquired while in tertiary institutions,” he added.

Additionally, Sunway University Economics Professor Dr Yeah Kim Leng said the country's TVET programmes have been relatively successful in meeting industry-specific needs for specialised skills. However, researcher at Emir Research Nur Sofea Hasmira Azahar said that enrollment in TVET should be actively promoted and placed in the mainstream education among the secondary-school leavers as the courses offered are very much related to technology.
