4CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPING TVET
• TVET is second study option, not popular among students and parents
• Low skills, skills mismatches, lack of innovation and
creativity in labor workforce are still big concerns for business and industry
• Lack of qualified resources for TVET development: Teachers,
equipment, information and fund
• No clear joint efforts for TVET development in many countries in
ASEAN
• Businesses paying higher costs on employees, but low
productivity: labor compliance, salary, technology investment, people
development for better work productivities and sustained growth of the company

SDG 4 – To increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant
skills, including technical and vocational skills, for
employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.
Soft Skills acquisition: Beyond work-specific skills, high-level
cognitive and non-cognitive/transferable skills, such as problem solving,
critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, communication skills
and conflict resolution.
