(CBT) which is an approach to vocational training that

workplace as a result of education & training. The criteria

used in the evalution of competencies are clearly stated &

given in advance.

ii. Dual Training System(Apprenticeship Program)

The apprenticeship program aims to expose apprentices

to actual situations in the industry. Apart from technical

competencies, the NDTS also emphasizes human &social competencies such as team work, self monitoring,

shouldering common responsibilities & the like.

Approximately 70%-80% of the training is done in the

industry, while the remaining 20%-30% is carried out in

training instituitions, utilizing curriculum develope by the

National Occupational Core Curriculum (NOCC)


TECHNICAL & VOCATIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING

(TVET) in Malaysia continues to play an important role

in providing highly skilled labour to fulfil the needs of

industry. In the contect of a rapidly changing global

economic scenario, the development of knowledge &

skills is critical in maintaining the competitiveness of

various industries & sustaining the growth of a country

as a whole. To ensure the continued development of a

skilled & knowledgeable workforce, the SkillsMalaysia

INVITE programme was designed based on the NationalOccupational Skills Standard (NOSS). Noss is a framework

developed by the industry’s expert which outlines the

core competencies required for a range of occupations.
