Toward an analysis of employer engagement in the TVET system for 10 ASEAN member states
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to analyze employer’s engagement to the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system among ASEAN member states by developing the analytical framework.
Design/methodology/approach
Data collection has been made through collaboration between the research team and the ASEAN regional consultants recruited for the project by using the survey questionnaire. ASEAN member states are analyzed based on the framework, which includes the existence of meeting, the existence of law or regulation, the degree of influence of meeting to TVET and the degree of influence of the employers to TVET.
Findings
Employers’ engagement can play its significant role as part of monitoring the skills demand of labor market. If the country can build feedback mechanism which circulates skills supply and demand on behalf of individual sectors, it will help reduce the skills gap.
Originality/value
The pace of economic development is and has been more rapid among 10 ASEAN member states. To analyze employer’s engagement to the TVET system among ASEAN member states, developing the analytical framework is imperative. Not only is there insufficient labor market information for each country, but there is also a lack of information linking the labor market and TVET system.
