Abstract: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) plays a crucial role in Malaysia’s efforts to progress as a nation, especially in equipping the workforce with diverse skills for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research about the knowledge of TVET educators in order to improve its quality. This study aims to explore the current state of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, delving into the key issues and challenges they face while providing practical recommendations and strategic proposals for improvement. The method of purposive sampling was utilized for selecting TVET educators from a wide range of technical fields. The interviews were performed online. The findings of this study highlight the critical role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in fostering national resilience and achieving competitiveness on a global scale, aligning Malaysia with the standards of developed nations. Instructors underscore the significance of adopting an inclusive approach by engaging all relevant stakeholders—educators, industry leaders, policymakers, and communities—to collaboratively shape the future of TVET. Furthermore, they emphasize the need for early exposure to TVET, ensuring students and younger generations recognize its value and potential career pathways from an early age. This study provides valuable insights into the current state of TVET in Malaysia, offering recommendations that can guide future policies, improve institutional effectiveness, and enhance the overall perception of TVET as a vital component of the nation’s educational and economic development framework.
