| description | Green Technology is seen as the optimal solution in addressing most of the environmental issues affecting
our society today. The movement towards green technology will undoubtedly change the labour market. Although,
there were numerous studies been done in regards to green technology but the question remains unanswered when it
comes to Vocational Colleges in Malaysia. Therefore, the main goal of this current study is to investigate and develop
an in-depth exploration of the need of incorporating Green Technology in one of the most prominent TVET
institutions in Malaysia which is the Vocational Colleges. The study uses exploratory sequential mixed method as
the research design but only the qualitative approach is being selected to be discussed in this paper. Hence, we report
the findings conducted through semi-structured interview by interviewing 7 industrial players in TVET, associated
with Vocational Colleges in Malaysia. In relation to the main findings from this study, we found that all 7 participants
believe that there is a need to incorporate green technology in the curriculum of Vocational Colleges as to upgrade
and fulfill the industry’s needs. Taken together, this finding suggests that educational reform may be the most
important tool in the future of green technology in Vocational Colleges and by all means it is defined as a need rather
than a must. |
