Abstract

A number of government agencies work together to coordinate TVET's operations in Malaysia. However, the management of TVET institutions requires re-evaluation to standardise operations across the country. There is a need for a management framework to guide the entire process from start to end. This study aims to identify the management structure of TVET institutions. The main structures were identified through literature review and the Delphi Method. Subsequently, Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) was used to develop the framework. The proposed management framework of Malaysia's TVET institutions is intended to offer a robust system that satisfies industry requirements.
