The Federal government has been reported to allocate an additional RM10 million to Melaka to enhance the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program in the state.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the funds could be used by TVET institutions to collaborate with industry players during his meeting with the Melaka state civil servants, which was also attended by Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh here today.
“Melaka has shown its TVET capabilities and to increase cooperation and synergy with large TVET (companies), like Infineon, Honda, CTRM (and so on).
“(This is to) ensure our children (not only) get jobs but get jobs that pay well, not just RM2,000 per month but a minimum of RM3,500 and above,” he said.
