Pelbagai anugerah telah dicapai menjadi batu loncatan kearah menvapai statu negara maju. Teknologi baru beserta kepakarannya di bawa masuk untuk membantu dan mencapai lebih banyak kejayaan. Walau bagaimanapun, salah satu faktor penting untuk menarik pelabur asing adalah kemahiran dan kecekapan teknikal dalam tenaga kerja tempatan. Kerajaan sangat peka terhadap keperluan ini di mana ia tidak sahaja bergantung kepada tenaga kerja yang berpendidikan malah mempunyai sumber tenaga kerja mahir. Pendidikan Teknik dan Vokasional (PTV) adalah bertanggungjawab terhadap tuntutan ini. Literasi yang tinggi dalam kendalian teknologi, bahasa asing, perlengkapan dengan kemahiran pekerjaan dan keusahawanan adalah antara beberapa kemahiran lain yang diperlukan selain daripada kemahiran teknikal khusus dalam industri masing-masing. Oleh itu, program-program yang ditawarkan, panduan kursus serta kurikulum yang diguna-pakai mestilah menjajarkan ke arah melahirkan tenaga kerja berkemahiran tinggi bagi industri. Kerjasama antara pihak kerajaan dan industri adalah sangat penting dalam memastikan kurikulum yang dihasilkan adalah menepati keperluan masing-masing. |
