Students interested in continuing their studies in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) are advised to check the rating of the educational institution they wish to attend before registering for the programme. Yayasan Mahir Malaysia president Datuk P. Sri Ganes said this is important to ensure that the courses offered are in line with the market demand. He said the rating of TVET colleges is determined by the Skills Development Department (JPK) under the Human Resources Ministry (Kesuma) through parameters that have been set based on holistic requests and indications from industry players to avoid mismatch issues. According to him, the colleges are evaluated every two years to ensure the implementation status of the TVET programme is by Kesuma standards. “We are thrilled to receive the prestigious 5-star rating from JPK, affirming our unwavering dedication to providing top-tier vocational education,” said Tan Teck Yong, centre manager at Despark International College Melaka. “This achievement reflects our continuous efforts to uphold the highest standards of academic excellence and prepare our students for the evolving demands of the workforce.” Despark International College’s recognition by JPK as a leading institution in TVET further establishes its position as a trailblazer in vocational education, fostering innovation, and nurturing talent for the nation’s socioeconomic development.
