TVET is a programme that comprises of formal, non-formal and informal learning for work-related education. The TVET enables students to acquire knowledge and skills from basic to advanced levels across a wide range of institutional and work settings within a diverse socio-economic context.

This industry-relevant programme will provide students with the opportunity to transfer from vocational to academic programmes. The programme will require institutions to devise new assessment forms for industry skills to be developed alongside the academic programmes.

It will enable countries to develop much needed industry-related skills among its workforce to fuel economic transformation.

This announcement follows the appointment of Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Paduka Dr. Lim Kok Wing as the TVET UK International President. The concept of TVET education reinforces the efforts of the United Nations Academic Impact team which Tan Sri Lim is a member of.

Limkokwing University is a multicultural institution with over 150 nations. This has enabled the University to gain a deeper understanding of industry focused skills and cultural awareness to compete in a highly globalised environment.
