They offer a range of courses in fields such as massage therapy, computer skills, office administration and Braille, and is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for students with visual impairments. The Gurney Training Centre also works closely with employers to ensure that its graduates are able to find employment in their chosen fields.

In conclusion, special needs education in Malaysia is evolving rapidly, with a greater emphasis being placed on inclusive education and TVET courses that provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in a variety of vocational fields. Institutions such as the various Sekolah Menengah Pendidikan Khas, Gurney Training Centre, NASOM centres are leading the way in providing supportive and inclusive learning environments for students with special needs and are helping to ensure that all students in Malaysia have access to the education they need to succeed.

Note: We are visiting a new TVET college that offers cruise service for special needs students, will update later.

Tukang gunting rambut rayu tarik balik larangan ambilan pekerja asing untuk mengisi kekosongan industri

March 16, 2023TVET & Vocational Training - Malaysian News, TVET/Skills coursesNational Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS), NOSS, Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia, SKM (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia), Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaan, tukang gunting rambutadmin

Pemilik kedai gunting rambut di Malaysia sedang menghadapi kesukaran untuk mencari pekerja mahir kerana pembekuan ambilan sementara pekerja asing oleh kerajaan. Persatuan Pemilik Gaya Rambut Salun India Malaysia (Mindas) menganggap keputusan ini menjejaskan perniagaan mereka dan memohon agar mereka dibenarkan mengambil pekerja asing seperti perniagaan lain.

Namun, kerajaan masih belum memberikan keputusan yang memuaskan kepada Mindas. Mereka mengusulkan untuk membawa masuk tukang gunting rambut tempatan melalui persatuan dan usaha sama dengan pihak lain, tetapi sambutan daripada warga tempatan tidak begitu baik.

Menurut Meenaq Kumar, penolong Setiausaha Mindas, warga tempatan kurang minat dengan bidang gunting rambut, dan mereka yang menamatkan kursus tukang gunting rambut cenderung membuka kedai sendiri daripada bekerja dengan orang lain. Kekurangan pekerja mahir ini menyebabkan sekurang-kurangnya 1,600 kekosongan dalam kalangan ahli Mindas.

Kumaran Gunasegaran, pemilik 10 kedai gunting rambut di Lembah Klang, menyatakan bahawa banyak perniagaannya terjejas kerana tidak dapat mencari pekerja mahir. Walaupun telah banyak mencuba untuk menggaji warga tempatan, kebanyakan dari mereka tidak muncul selepas sehari bekerja tanpa memberi notis.

Mindas dan pemilik kedai gunting rambut lain merayu kepada kerajaan agar diberikan pengecualian dalam pembekuan ambilan pekerja asing bagi memastikan kelangsungan perniagaan mereka. Mereka juga menggesa kerajaan untuk membantu membina kemahiran pekerja tempatan dalam bidang gunting rambut untuk mengisi kekosongan pekerja mahir.

Sekiranya kekosongan ini tidak segera diisi, industri gunting rambut akan terjejas dan lebih ramai pekerja akan kehilangan pekerjaan. Kerajaan perlu mengambil tindakan yang bijak dan adil bagi mempertahankan industri ini dan menjamin kestabilan ekonomi dalam jangka masa panjang.

Komen: Isunya adalah warga tempatan tidak minat kerja sebagai tukang gunting rambut ke gaji tidak setimpal dengan beban kerja?

Sebab menurut penolong setiausaha Mindas, pelatih yang menamat kursus gunting rambut cenderung membuka kedai sendiri (ataupun kerja secara freelance).

Adakah ini bermaksud ada ruang lagi untuk pusat latihan kemahiran menawarkan kursus tukang gunting rambut, sebaiknya berdasarkan pada Standard Kemahiran Pekerjaan Kebangsaa@NOSS?

Dengan itu, Pusat Latihan Kemahiran boleh dapat pentauliahan program daripada Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran (JPK) dan pelatih bukan sahaja dapat latihan kemahiran sebagai tukang gunting rambut tetapi juga pensijilan yang diiktiraf oleh negara dan juga banyak lagi negara lain, iaitu Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia.

Weekend training courses have become increasingly popular in recent years as individuals like you may seek to enhance your skills and knowledge in your chosen field without sacrificing your workweek. This trend has also caught on in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, where institutions such as:

1. Youth and Sports Skills Training Institute (ILKBS) offer weekend training courses to empower youths like you/your children with additional skills.

This programme is held on weekends using a “Do It Yourself” approach and tailored specifically for B40 & M40 groups, as well as at-risk and minority youths and those who are already working aged 40 and below.

2. ISE Education offer weekend induction courses for you to be qualified as centre managers, skills trainers/assessors (PP)/internal verifiers (PPD) & external verifiers (PPL)*.

* Other qualifications maybe required for the various positions stated above (appointed by respective Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran‘s Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB, regardless of government or private)

TVET programs are designed to provide practical training and education for a variety of trades, professions, and vocations. They aim to you with the knowledge, skills, and attitude needed to succeed in your chosen career paths. However, not everyone can commit to full-time training due to work or personal obligations, especially if you have already started working. This is where weekend training courses come in handy.

Weekend training courses offer you the opportunity to pursue your education and training goals outside of regular working hours. These courses are designed to be flexible, convenient, and accessible as you may have commitments during the week. They provide a perfect balance between work, life, and learning.

To sum up, weekend training courses linked to TVET and JPK’s induction courses are an excellent option for you/your children/your employees who are looking to enhance your/their skills, knowledge or qualifications while balancing work and personal commitments. These courses provide you with the practical experience and knowledge or qualifications needed to succeed in your chosen field. Additionally, they offer a flexible, convenient, and accessible learning experience that can help you to achieve your career goals.

Salt Bae Malaysia – 10 Fun Facts for Aspiring Chefs

December 23, 2022TVET/Skills coursesLionel Messi, Malaysian Skills Certificate, NDTS, Salt Bae, Salt Bae Malaysia, Salt Bae networth, Salt Bae restaurant, Salt Bae steak, Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia, SKM, SLDN, World Cup 2022admin

Salt Bae Malaysia

Salt Bae Malaysia? Is there really a Salt Bae restaurant in Malaysia? Or you may be wondering, who’s this Salt Bae?

Let’s get to know the 10 fun facts about Salt Bae.

10 Fun Facts About Salt Bae

1. Salt Bae’s real name is Nusret Gökçe

2. Yes, he’s not a Malaysian but a Turkish butcher, celebrity chef, food entertainer and restaurateur.

3. Salt Bae owns Nusr-Et, a chain of luxury steak houses. Unfortunately, not in Malaysia yet. Hence there’s NO Salt Bae Malaysia ya 🙂

As of 2021, he has Nusr-Et branches in Turkey, Greece, the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia . The name of his restaurant chain comes from his own name and “Et”, which means “meat” in Turkish.

4. He is a son of a miner, without much formal education. He was forced to leave school in the sixth grade (aged 11–12) to work as a butcher’s apprentice in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul.

5. Between 2007 and 2010, Gökçe visited several countries including US & Argentina. He worked in local restaurants for free, in order to gain experience as a cook and a restaurateur.

Gökçe finally opened his first restaurant in Istanbul in 2010 at the age of 27, after years of seeking experience overseas.

6. In January 2017 he shot to fame overnight when a video of him flamboyantly seasoning a piece of steak went viral online. He was dubbed “Salt Bae” due to his peculiar way of sprinkling salt: dropping it from his fingertips to his forearm, and then onto the dish.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Bae (with adaptation)

7. Salt Bae now owns a chain of 22 steakhouses around the world (no Salt Bae Malaysia yeah, in case you’re wondering again) called Nusr-Et, where you can purchase a 24 karat gold–wrapped tomahawk for about RM5,140!

8. From a early school dropout due to family’s financial woes to a whopping total net worth of around $75 Million, Salt Bae is another great rags to riches story. Learn more from the video below.

9. Salt Bae maybe very rich but ….

his famous London steakhouse, Nusr-Et, is looking for Chef de Partie, offering the station chef role just $16 to $18 (RM71to RM80) an hour, plus tips, for their service. That wage is equivalent to a side of mashed potatoes or sweet corn at the trendy eatery, according to the Daily Mail.

10. Last but not least, the latest sensational controversy he created was the World Cup 2022.

Salt Bae was shown holding, kissing and pretending to sprinkle salt on the World Cup trophy, and interrupting Argentina players’ celebrations after their penalty shootout victory over France. And Lionel Messi and team definitely not happy about it!

Do You Think You can Open the next 'Salt Bae Malaysia'?

Next Salt Bae Malaysia? Nah, forget about it. Be creative, am sure we Malaysians can be better. Why need to be another Gordon Ramsay or Salt Bae?

We have our own De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan, Suka Sucre Bistro by Chef Dato’ Fazley Yaakob and few more.

So, how do you start with that? Work for free in some restaurants?

Unlike those days, you now have a proper pathway towards becoming a culinary chef (or even celebrity chef later if you’re creative enough and have great personality).

1. Apprentice @ National Dual Training System (NDTS)

Just like Salt Bae where he started being an apprentice, you too can take this pathway. You are luckier as our Malaysian government has been generously dishing out special incentives for all parties involved (apprentice, training provider and workplace/industry), at least for the past 2 years with a RM1,000/mth allowance.

You will also be awarded with Malaysian Skills Certificate @ SKM that is nationally & internationally recognised.

Will there be a continuity to that in 2023? Very likely as it’s been budgeted by the previous government and TVET agenda is one of the priority of our country towards a skilled workforce. A skilled workforce is an asset and helps in ensuring enhanced productivity, adoption of new technology, global competitiveness, increased income and reduction of poverty.

So how does NDTS works? Perhaps have a quick look at the chart below (focus on the green column). If you want a lengthy explanation of it, you may read more here about NDTS (or more well known as SLDN in BM)

2. Accredited Programme Training System @ Pusat Bertauliah SLaPB

Again, kindly refer to the chart below (red column) to have an idea of the system. In short, it’s like a college but unlike the conventional academic programmes, TVET accredited programs by Department of Skills Development focuses much more on the theoretical side and does not require an SPM to enrol for the programme.

3 Digital Training Skills for Effective TVET Instruction

December 1, 2022TVET/Skills courses, VTO/I-031-3:2014conduct online assessment, deliver online training, develop e-training material, Digital training, digital training implementation, TVET Instruction, TVET-i, VTOadmin

Digital Training Implementation

The digital world has changed how we live our lives. It’s also changing how we train people in TVET. This article will give you an overview of the 3 main digital training skills and the different types of digital tools available for use by trainers and learners, and provide practical advice on how to implement these into your training programs.

1. Develop e-training material

There are lots of ways to develop e-training materials. However, there are some crucial factors that should not be ignored when undertaking e-training content development for e-training course materials. The 5 tips required to create successful e-training material are elaborated below:

1. Employ Highly Qualified And Experienced Facult

There are many TVET institutions in Malaysia which lack highly qualified and experienced teachers who can teach students using a variety of teaching methodologies and real-life examples. Thus, this is the most crucial factor in developing e-training material for a successful digital training implementation.

If your TVET trainers are not well versed in this area, it’s time to upskill them with the necessary knowledge and skills. Perhaps can consider attending a basic & compressed* one (1) day course on Digital Training Implementation conducted by an experience trainer that has a Degree majoring in this area.

* Basic knowledge and experience of using Gmail products and going online is a pre-requisite.

2. Integrate 3D Animation, Simulations, Games, And Quizzes For Enhanced Comprehension

Making e-training content development informative and relevant with text is not enough. Unless the content is made attractive, lively, fun, and engaging, the e-training material may fail to attract students, especially those in the TVET sector. To make content engaging, integrate 3D animation, simulations, games, and quizzes into the e-training material, therefore, enriching TVET learner comprehension on different concepts.

3. Create Relevant e-training Content

Learners prefer learn from content which they find simple, relevant, and informative. Therefore, e-training content development should not be monotonous or passive, but encourage the learners to pay attention.

4. Structure Your Training Journey

E-training content should be designed to offer a logical and structured journey for the learners in the form of learning paths when it comes to training content. Logically, subdividing the main course into several courses depending upon available learning time for course completion is of significant importance. This structured and organized-learning path gives learners clarity on which course to complete first and helps define a learning path for a certification program.

5. Assess Learner Performance

An assessment of a student’s performance should be provided periodically. In order to develop high-quality e-training material, you should follow the above tips to create an effective one.

2. Deliver Online Training

For successful digital training to be implemented, you need to deliver your online training effectively after developing the right & effective e-training material.

Here are the top five (5) tips for delivering effective online training.

1. Using the Right Technology

Providing access to the right technology is important to allow your TVET trainers to get their training done effectively. No one wants technical hiccups to get in the way of their training time. Besides the internet facility readiness, you will also need to provide access to laptops or desktops that is compatible for the digital training, microphones as well as the appropriate software and licences to use it. Your trainees will need login details and support to navigate the programmes they need to use.

2. Create a Content Library

If your e-learning material is to be used for every batch of students, there’s no point reinventing the wheel every year and creating a new course. Organise and store reusable content, such as training materials, assessments, poll questions and session guidance notes for carrying out the digital training.

3. Keep your Learners Engaged

Not everyone will be enthusiastic on digital learning, particularly TVET students who may have a shorter attention lifespan. But it doesn’t mean the courses can’t be interactive and surprisingly fun and informative. Try using tests to evaluate knowledge retention during the session and get immediate feedback with polls. Encourage small-group interaction with breakout sessions. Or you could broadcast an image of your whiteboard to trainees and share your updates in real time.

4. Assess What Your Trainees Have Learned

Once your trainees have completed their learning, you also need to assess how they got on by finding out, for example, what the pass rate is, what questions proved tricky or if there are any outstanding trainees who need to complete their learning. Look into whether your platform or web application allows you to get detailed reports on session attendance, test results and assessments.

5. Reward Your Trainees

Just because the learning schedule you set is online, it doesn’t mean you can’t reward your trainees in other ways to congratulate them on completing the digital training. For example, perhaps you could reward the highest scorer.

Suggested digital tools & e-training platforms for the above two (but not limited to): Google Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom, Youtube, Canva

3. Conduct Online Assessment

Online Assessments are the new normal, as learning has transcended to be disseminated using technology. E-learning is the current mantra, beyond pen and paper. Online Assessments are challenging because they are difficult to construct using the tools available. Nevertheless, their benefits are farfetched. Online Assessments are easier to explore and data collection on the performance of the learner becomes easily accessible, easily adaptable, less time-consuming, and leverage new data collection.

The Online Assessment should be achievable by the learner, unambiguous in approach, should include a baseline criterion for the learner, easily understood by all learners; and feedback must be provided preferably in a written format which is accessible to all learners. The quality of the online assessment determines its efficacy, universal approach, genuine scores and real-time calibre of the learner

In the context of Malaysian Skills Certification System (SPKM), assessment is the process of assessing the level of competence that includes the skills, knowledge and attitude of a trainee while performing the assigned tasks.

It is implemented to determine whether a trainee has reached the skill level set in NOSS, for the purpose of awarding the Malaysian Skills Certificate / Malaysian Skills Diploma / Malaysian Advanced Diploma of Skills / Statement of Achievement.

Online Assessment Tools

Google Forms is a popular Online Assessment Tool used by trainers/tutors. It is easy to create small quizzes or multiple-choice questions.

Other tools which have gained usage in current times are Skoolbeep, The Answer Pad, Edulastic, EasyLMS, Examsoft, CodeSignal and others.

Online Assessment tools can facilitate real-time grading, help take online examinations using assessment software, and help the teachers who logged in to keep pace with the learning.

The software chosen should have inherent features such as timely updating from time to time for a smooth LMS, 24/7 chat support, an auto-save option in case of internet or electricity disruption, and be highly user-friendly.

Designing An Effective Online Assessment

The internet is an ocean of opportunities. Assessments may be conducted as holding polls, conducting webinars, educative videos, Learning Management portals and others.

Create Clear Rubrics – which should be conveyed transparently to the learners before the assignment. The Assessment format, grading system and roadmap to take the assignment should be crystal clear to make a fair judgement of scores.

Purpose of the Assessment – should be established before the design of the Assessment. The objective, assessment length, test conditions will make the purpose clear and assessment goals effective in output.

All-Inclusive Approach – The assessment design should be all-inclusive with Multiple Assessments to effectively test learners according to their level (eg SKM1, SKM2, SKM3, DKM or DLKM). Accessibility, clarity, technology facilitation, and a step-by-step approach will enable holistic learner data.

Digital Training Implementation Course

If you are interested to deliver your TVET courses more effectively via digital means, we’ve designed a compact 1 day course just for you.

This course is part of a 2 days programme specifically designed for you, VTO (Level 3) cert holders that intend to upgrade your cert to TVET-i (Level 4).

NOTE: You may be also interested with other online courses/workshops that is related to skills certification to enable you to obtain Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia or becoming an Assessor/Verifier within the Malaysian Skills Certification System.

TVET in Malaysia

Thinking about pursuing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Malaysia? You’ve come to the right place! Here, we’ll break down 5 key things you need to know about TVET in Malaysia, helping you decide if it’s the right path for your future.

What is TVET?

TVET program, TVET Malaysia, TVET Mara, TVET centre …. these are the common terms that we hear & see in the media. So before we go further, let’s understand TVET meaning.

Jika anda ingin baca dalam Bahasa Malaysia, sila rujuk sini.

TVET stands for Technical and Vocational Education and Training. According to UNESCO’s definition, technical and vocational education is used as a comprehensive term referring to those aspects of the educational process involving, in addition to general education, the study of technologies and related sciences, and the acquisition of practical skills, attitudes, understanding and knowledge relating to occupations in various sectors of economic and social life.

It includes formal and informal learning that prepare young people with the knowledge and skills required in the working world, with major emphasis on industry practices.

The scope of TVET should be based on the Occupational Standards such as the National Occupational Skills Standards (NOSS), with an emphasis on practical components, psychomotor skills and exposure to training in industry.

TVET is not something new in Malaysia. Only that TVET is often misunderstood as a second option and is only eligible for individuals who are less outstanding in terms of academic achievement. In fact, the stigma has become obsolete because now TVET graduates are getting more and more attention from employers.

TVET in Malaysia was given a new lease of life on 27 Sept 2017 with the launch (and branding) of TVET Malaysia by the former Prime Minister, YAB Dato’s Sri Mohd Najib b Abdul Razak to change the parents’ negative perception on TVET skills. This stigma is common given that many of us has been placing more emphasis on academics all this while.
