• The Development of Holistic Human Capital for Industry 4.0 Readiness, by Mr Ngan Cheng Hwa, Specialist Technical Training Officer, German-Malaysia Institution.

He posed a pertinent question with regards to TVET and IR4.0 - how to develop lifelong learning through IR4.0? As an aid to help answer this, Mr Ngan Cheng Hwa mentions that we currently live in “19th century classroom, 20th century teacher, and 21st century student”. He delves into three types of analysis to ponder: 1) Industry 4.0 – Where are we? 2) People – what are talent development requirements? 3) Learning & Teaching – how to develop holistic/competent talent? These are all important factors due to the fact that the world of ‘work’ and world of ‘learning’ compliment of each other; people must have the capacity to learn – and through it, TVET needs to adapt to find the ‘fitment’ and synchronize these three factors. The aim is to shift to do problem-based learning instead of teacher-based learning. This works hand in hand with IR4.0, for them to become as innovators.

• Preparing Korean TVET for Dealing with TVET 4.0, by Ms Young Sun Ra, President,

KRIVET (Korea).

KOSEN, Japan.

The KOSEN project in Thailand was first created due to the domestic demand during the high economic growth period from 1955-1973. This project is collaborated between Thailand and Japan to fill certain job gaps between the two nations. It is an alternative route to the ‘education path’ in Japan as shown by Dr Tsutomu Matsumoto. The Kosen project is essentially a 5-year course; with a Curricula that totals to 5340 hours. The syllabus was developed by Kosen Japan – and agreed by the partner. Training programs to ‘train the trainer’ is organised to brief the Thai instructors regarding the KOSEN pedagogy. The KOSEN graduates expected from this project are expected to create a variety of human resource jobs. Dr Tsutomu Matsumoto concluded that there was quite a difference in the style of teaching between Japan and Thailand instructors; there would be the need to improve cross cultural understanding in terms of language as well as pedagogy practices in the classroom between Instructor and student to make the KOSEN project much more effective.

PR China shared their best practices in this session. The session on Public-Private Partnership Model towards TVET 4.0 was moderated by Dr Sheikh Lukman, Central Principal, Institute Brunei of Technical Education (IBTE).

• Enhancing Industry Collaboration for Successful Implementation/ Integration of IR 4.0 by Mr Jonathan Ledger, Global TVET Specialist, Department of International Trade, UK.

As the rate of change for technology drastically advances, it proves to be challenging for individuals, businesses and public policies to keep up. As a result, a skills gap, a commercial lag and a policy deficit follows in the wake of such drastic technological advancement. Thus, it was posited that the biggest barrier for the implementation technologies is the lack of knowledge and skills among staff, along with insufficient training in current and future technologies and the high cost of implementing such technologies. This calls for the implications for IR 4.0 skills by which: Technical skills need to be of quality and relevant; Foundational skills need to be strongly promoted; Core employability skills demand to be fostered; Entrepreneurial skills must be encouraged, and Digital skills enhanced. As TVET is about skills for industry, TVET sectors are required to not only understand industry needs, but also develop industry professional benchmarks. Henceforth, TVET sectors must design, deliver and implement relevant industry training programmes whilst closely measuring its following impact and outcomes. Accordingly, employers within the industries must 0collaborate with one another to refine their own businesses and articulate the skills it needs, in essence outlining clearer career paths. Industries are to create employment, training opportunities and assist in the supervision of training and coaching to staff. Therefore, it is expected that they provide technical input to qualifications and curriculum development. In conclusion, the perception of TVET amongst students, parents, employers and wider society demands for a change.

• Improving TVET through PPP with collaboration, by Dr Steve McKee, President of LabTech and President of WorldDIDAC.

He explained how technology is shaping the workplace and economic landscape and transforming the state of TVET. Nevertheless, PPP is not without its problems as research states that there has always been a mismatch between the supply and demand of TVET graduates. This creates the opportunity for collaboration on the creation of a new generation of teaching and learning materials in digital learning. He emphasized the beneficial partnerships of Worlddidac and Labtech within the TVET sectors towards the transformation of TVET through technology, making it virtual. Virtual TVET is thus the utilization of technology for education as it helps to reduce costly physical training systems, operational costs, reach and time taken to teach

16 | P a g e

and learn, henceforth improving accessibility. It also encourages the betterment of trainers and teachers, thus, there is a demand to create the right balance between virtual and practical learning within the TVET sectors. Through the application of technology, improvements can be adapted and accessed by a wide range of audience. He concluded that industries and governments can complement each other to meet the constantly growing economic demands and challenges. The collaboration from government, international agencies, TVET and industrial sectors is highly appreciated.

• Industry Technical Skills Accumulation System (ITSAS), by Mr Lu Chuyang, Deputy Director, National E-Commerce Vocational Teaching Steering Committee, PR China.

In his presentation, he shared about the Public-Private Partnership and PGSD skills development model. In order to improve the practicality and quality of teaching, the following were done : 1) The committee was formed with the order from the Ministry of Education, by the Chinese industrial associations; 2) develop a talent-demand forecasting system; 3) summarized the “skill tags” during mass data analyze of the recruitment information released by the companies; 4) PGSD skills development model and 5) developed an assessment system to obtain detailed learning reports and career orientation reports. The PGSD skills development method has been applied in the curriculum development of the World Bank assistance loan projects and the development of teaching standards/ in the Ministry of Education of China. They also work with education institutes in other countries including Thailand and Cambodia to develop courses in the field of digital trade and help them gradually build their own ITSAS. He was hoping to meet more partners to jointly promote the development of vocational education and support the emerging industries represented by the digital economy through vocational education.
