This article presents the impact evaluationof the Solution Providers Project, a flagship program of The All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia –Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) on Civil Society Organization (CSO) Alliance, aimed at reducing inequalities in selected constituencies in Sabah, Malaysia. Focusing on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the lens of impact evaluator, this study adoptsa service-learningconceptual framework and amix-method research design, combining qualitative approaches (evaluator observation, focus group discussions) with numerical assessments on 15 selected constituencies.Findings revealthat while solution providers express over-optimism about reported projects, beneficiaries encounter diverse challenges in experiencing the intended impact. Data from focus group discussions highlights both success stories and obstacles, showcasing skill acquisition through hands-on experiences. However, beneficiaries’ understanding on SDGs is still at a mediocre level, despite emphasis during planning and execution.Overall, the findings from this impact evaluation can be instrumental in informingdecision-making, improvingprogram design, and shedding light on specific policy areas, particularly in reducing multidimensional inequality such as income, consumption inequality and the quality of digital education in the Sabah region.

Career path certainty in this era of innovation, digitalization, and globalization is increasing and continues to be the decisive factor in career selection by many people in the fast-growing, unpredictable, and highly competitive job market. This situation has forced students to make career choices as the first step to ensure that the available human resources are in line with the demand in the labor market. This study aims to determine the role of career-related characteristics in the relationship to career certainty among Vocational College students in Selangor. The career-related characteristics included in this study are career planning, career exploration, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career goals. This research is a quantitative and correlational study conducted on first-year Vocational College students in Selangor. Using simple random sampling, 230 students were selected as research respondents. The results showed that career planning, career exploration, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career goals showed an insignificant but moderate positive relationship with career certainty. This study provides a basis for planning career-related learning and development programs at the pre-university level. The study recommends that teachers actively initiate student career exploration activities during learning.

Gaining skillswill aid the youth generation to obtain careeropportunities and while also making their workforce efficient and in line with the current industry in the era of the 21st century. However, skill demands by industry are typically gained outside formal education settings. Thus, a new paradigm of learner-directed study has emerged as a promising development for educational sectors. This study proposes a skill-based training based on the in-demand hard-skill industry in online settings, and an investigation of participant reason and reactions to the training. The study attempted online training in the topics of User Interface and User Experience (UIX) and Social Media Marketing, which were discovered to be in demand within the Indonesian workforce. The study was able to employ 434 Indonesian registrants, however, only 151 were able to complete the post-training questionnaire. The study's analysis revealed that the majority of participants were university students looking to improve their skill setsbefore entering the job market. The learners responded positively to the training procedures and learning approaches. This study concluded that skill-based online training has the potential to improve industry-required skills.

The present study attempted to examine the relationship between 21stcenturyleadership and strategic management of school principals concerning their strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. This is with an end-view of preparing actions and activities to help strengthen their leadership skills in the 21st century era.The study is descriptive-correlational in nature, employing a survey questionnaire responded to by 80 TLE teachers from public secondary schools in Districts II and V of Batangas Province. Quantitative analysis indicated that concerning the 21st century leadership skills of TLE teachers, they generally agree that their school heads manifest strong advocacy and leadership (3.45) while they strongly agree that they display adult professional core (3.52), continuous improvement of teaching expertise (3.50), and results-oriented team (3.51). In terms of the strategic management of TVET programs during this time of the pandemic, they agree that their school heads employ various strategies for strategy formulation (3.36), strategy implementation (3.40), and strategy evaluation (3.41). Pearson’s R correlation revealed a moderate to very high correlation between strong advocacy and leadership, adult professional core, continuous improvement of teaching expertise, and results-oriented teams with their strategic management of the school heads. It was therefore suggested that school heads explore and initiate actions that will help foster their 21st century leadership skills as it was found that it is influential in the strategic management of the TVET programs, particularly during this time of global health emergency.

The tremendous potential of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) appears evident worldwide, including in Bangladesh, where the emphasis is primarily on individual skills development for decent employment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that varying degrees of development of soft skills and hard skills contribute to the strength and capability of human capital. It is well acknowledged that knowledge and technology are rapidly updated in the contemporary world. This study explores how skills development influences sustainable employability through the lens of the Japanese language skills development program in TVET. Moreover, this research aims to study the impact of Japanese language programs in Bangladesh's TVET system on skills development and sustainable employability. It aims to assess how the skills acquired through these programs benefit both the domestic and international job markets related to Japanese language abilities. This research employs a mixed-methods research approach examining the participants’ perceptions and understandings of those TVET students who have enrolled or graduated from the Japanese language program. The research endeavours to conduct a theoretical examination of the human capital development theory and to establish a connection between the Japanese language program and its associated approach, knowledge, and method. By examining the research findings, this study found that the TVETs’ Japanese language program significantly positively impacts individuals’ hard and soft skills development, improving the quality and form of employability, increasing individual wages, and playing a supportable role in achieving the SDG 8 of decent work and economic growth. Several practical initiatives have been recommended to increase this language program’s sustainability in TVET.

Many policies and strategies have been implemented to improve both the quality and quantity of Vietnam's technical and vocational education (TVE) system, and the results indicated innovative reform of the TVE system in both ways in Vietnam. Many aspects of TVE in Vietnam have been explored by a series of reports of the National Institute for Vocational Education and Training (NIVET); however, there exists a shortage of studies attempting to focus on the process of TVE graduates’ employment experience in the Vietnamese labour market. This study attempts to explore the employment of TVE graduates from technical colleges in Vietnam, with a focus on their employment tactics. To base this study on a qualitative approach, the primary data sources were obtained through semi-structure interviews and self-diary on employment tactics and strategies of TVE graduates in the labour market within two years. The obtained data were subjected to thematic analysis. Based on this, results revealed difficulty in obtaining desirable and high-paying jobs even though it was not difficult to obtain jobs to earn a living. Also, low satisfaction and resilience due to poor working conditions were revealed. Three key strategies: maintaining low pay jobs to earn a living, updating their skills to get better jobs, and changing to suitable jobs were figured out by TVE graduates. These strategies gradually assisted TVE graduates to obtain sustainable goals of career promotion and professional development.

Digital platforms are oneof thetechnology adoptionthat is beginning to be used in most vocational colleges today. Services provided through digital platforms are an alternative to conventional methods. However, the use of digital platforms nowadays, among users consisting of vocational college students in Malaysia is still at a less than satisfactory level. Previous studies also focused a lot on the use and acceptance of technology platforms among users in schools only but not in vocational colleges (VC). The aim of the research is to determine the experts’ consensus on the objective of the digital pedagogy policy for Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) students especially in vocational colleges which is currently under development. Vocational colleges is one of the Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) institutions in Malaysia that offers certificate level and skill diploma education to high school students. Therefore, it is important to identify the policy that will be used. The Fuzzy Delphi Technique (FDT) was used in this research. Ten experts were chosen by utilizing the purposive sampling method. Analysis of the data was using the Triangular Fuzzy Number and Defuzzification process. The findings showed 100% consensus was achieved by the experts for objectives 1 and 3, and 90% consensus was achieved by the experts for objective 2. All of the experts agreed on the elements in the objectives of the digital pedagogy policy for TVET students. Further development of this policy hopefully will help the teachers in improving their knowledge of digital pedagogy and increase their competency pedagogy in order to produce skills oriented workforce among TVET students in Malaysia. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to be used to strengthen the development of e-learning models in the future to help students and educators to use digital platforms in vocational colleges in particular.

The rising prevalence of unemployment and high demands at workplaces require vocational-based education teachers to devise an appropriate practical skills procedure. Teaching through a well-designed instructional procedure that stresses learners' involvement in skill practice is an alternative to cultivating skills. This study proposes a scientific procedure for implementing a vocational-based education curriculum in colleges of education by identifying key activities that lecturers and industrial technicians considered to be important for teaching undergraduate technical skills in Nigeria. There is no accepted framework for teachers to teach skills and evaluate their instruction. Efforts have been made to create such a prospective framework, but none has been put into use (Bannister et al. 2018) because they are poorly understood (Sarker, Vincent, and Darzi 2005). The study utilized the Delphi research strategy to gain consensus about the processes and activities involved in teaching skills. Then, employed the Four D Model (4-D model), which included the steps of Task identification, Material arrangement, Task execution, and Task evaluation, was developed in the research. We test a model of factors predicting the appropriate teaching model. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The result revealed the differential effect of the variables considered. However, the activities in each stage were utilized to design the scientific procedure for teaching technical skills in colleges of education. Because learning skills that are shielded in hands-on activities rely upon teaching procedures and skill practice opportunities, we concluded that effectively utilizing this scientific framework in colleges would improve students’ practical skills acquisition and make them active in the learning process.
失业率的上升和工作场所的高要求要求职业教育教师设计适当的实践技能程序。通过精心设计的教学程序进行教学，强调学习者参与技能实践，是培养技能的另一种选择。本研究通过确定尼日利亚讲师和工业技术人员认为对教授本科技术技能很重要的关键活动，提出了在教育学院实施职业教育课程的科学程序。对于教师来说，没有一个公认的框架来教授技能和评估他们的教学。人们已经努力创建这样一个前瞻性框架，但没有一个被投入使用(Bannister等人，2018)，因为人们对它们知之甚少(Sarker, Vincent, and Darzi 2005)。本研究利用德尔菲研究策略，就教学技巧所涉及的过程和活动达成共识。在此基础上，采用了包括任务识别、材料整理、任务执行和任务评价四个步骤的四维模型(4d Model)。我们测试了一个预测合适教学模式的因素模型。采用结构方程模型(SEM)对数据进行分析。结果揭示了所考虑的变量的差异效应。然而，利用每个阶段的活动来设计科学的教育学院技术技能教学程序。由于在实践活动中隐藏的学习技能依赖于教学程序和技能实践机会，因此我们得出结论，在大学中有效地利用这一科学框架可以提高学生的实践技能习得，并使他们在学习过程中更加主动。
