Description
Summary:The problem of unemployed graduates or mismatch between jobs and qualifications is amongst the subject often discussed by the new graduates nowadays. employers argue that many graduates do not possess the sufficient experience, knowledge and skills applicable to industry requirements even if they have spent between three and five years on a degree or graduate diploma. With high competition between the young graduates and experienced workers as well as the limited job vacancies available due to the current economic downturn as a result of the covid-19 pandemic, majlis amanah rakyat (mara) thus took the initiative to develop the centre of accreditation and recognition of excellence (care) in providing technical and vocational education and training (tvet) courses to undergraduate students towards industrial-based recognition. This paper hence appraises the scope management of tvet courses offered by care in ensuring that mara inspiration can be successfully fulfilled whilst the aforementioned problems amongst the young graduates can be solved efficiently. The findings of this paper are expected to clarify the elements needed by other higher education institutions and industries in managing the scopeof tvet courses to develop care with industry-based recognition added value.
