“…The classification of these factors would integrate the existing knowledge into an understandable whole. Factors influencing the decision to enrol for vocational training and apprenticeship have been classified into "pull" and "push" factors (Abdul-Aziz et al, 2020;Nomani and Sen, 2018). For instance, Nomani and Sen (2018) divided the motivational factors for apprenticeship into internal (push) and external (pull) factors.…”

This study aims to understand the factors influencing career decisions among apprentices in the construction sector. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research approach was used to address the objectives of the study. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain insights into the reason why young people decide to participate in construction craftsperson apprenticeship in Nigeria. Findings The study reveals that “interest and passion”, “role model”, “macroeconomic environment and government policies”, “spirit of entrepreneurship”, “formal, informal and non-formal education” and “family socioeconomic status” are the factors influencing career decisions among construction craftspeople. Originality/value The study provides fresh insights that can be used to develop strategies for attracting and increasing the number of young people that sign up for construction craftspeople apprenticeships. The apprentice training programmes are essential for addressing labour shortage, which is one of the factors affecting the performance of construction projects.

“…Failure to adapt to working conditions forced the Special skills certificate graduates to withdraw from the workforce (Ling, Hamid & Chuan, 2020). Therefore, providing ideal working conditions for the workers ensures their competency in terms of psychomotor and cognitive skills (Abdul Razak, Noordin & Khanan, 2022). Magrin, Marini & Nicolotti (2019) state that there are several factors that affect the employability of special education students with impaired hearing, one of which is the role of educational institutions in producing quality graduates.…”

The use of IR4.0 digital technology, computers and smartphones are gradually changing the scope of employment. This requires special education students with impaired hearing who are enrolled in the Special Skills Certificate programmeat Malaysian polytechnics to acquire and master digital skills that will meetthe employer’sneeds. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify the factors that affect the level of achieving employability 4.0 of impaired hearing special education students in Malaysian polytechnics,from the perspectivesof lecturers and employers. Quantitativemethods are used in carrying out the study, and the data areanalysed using the SPSS V26. The research instrument in the form of a questionnaire is distributed to the respondents and the contents are verified by two experts. This study involvesa total of71 Special Skills Certificate lecturers and 84 employers who have offered industrial training to the special education students with impaired hearing, whouse computers and smartphones in their workplace.The analysis requirement test was carried out using a normality test andfound that the entire data are normally distributed. Here are the results of thedescriptiveanalysis:fromthe lecturer's perspective,the attitude of impaired hearing special education studentstowards the use of digital technologyscore a high average mean value of 4.18; from the employer's perspective,the required digital technology facilities ofimpaired hearing special education students score ahigh average value mean 4.36.Meanwhile, the results by inferential analysis using independent t-testshowing a significant difference inteaching experience by lecturers.Students canexplore the content of the subjects through the use of software and digital technology applicationsbased on their lecturers’ experience in teaching.Therefore, the factors that affect the level of achievingemployability 4.0 should always be in line with IR4.0 technology that meets the needs of employers. The findings could be used another researcher to identify the other factors affecting the level of achieving employability 4.0 of hearing-impaired special education studentsin Malaysian polytechnic to keep student’s employability 4.0 aligned with the employers wished.

“…Students' interests, vocational talent, demographic background, and personality are the main components in determining the students' tendency in enrolling TVET (Ismail & Hassan, 2013). However, negative social perceptions toward TVET, such as labelling TVET students as low achievers in school, cause intense impediments (Abdul- Aziz et al, 2020;Ismail & Hassan, 2013;Amedorme & Fiagbe, 2013). Consequently, this leads to poor perception from parents' perspectives (Hussin et al, 2017;Koya, 2019).…”

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is an education system that delivers necessary information, skills, and attitudes related to work or self-employment. However, the TVET program is not preferred by most Malaysian students due to several factors such as students’ interest, parental influence, employers’ negative impression, facility in vocational institutions, inexperienced TVET instructors, and society’s negative perception. Consequently, it raises the issue of skilled workers shortage. The gravest threat will be far-reaching, pushing our economy into depreciation. Therefore, it is important to identify the students’ traits and interests before conducting further investigation to turn and thrive in this phenomenon. This study aims to utilise several classifiers (Decision Tree, Neural Network, Logistic Regression and Naïve Bayes) to predict students’ inclination to join TVET programmes. A total of 428 secondary school students from Kedah, Malaysia, are chosen as our survey respondents. The best classifier is determined according to the lowest misclassification rate. The findings revealed that the Decision Tree-based Gini Index with three branches prevail against other classifiers with a misclassification rate of 0.1938. Therefore, the classifier could act as a steer for the Kedah Department of Education (DOE), related parties, and the TVET agency in implementing effective strategies to enliven and inspire students to join TVET programs.
