“…This is similar to a study on the development of generic skills among technical students in Malaysia (Rahman,2011) provided evidence that students still lack certain skills including leadership skills. Other previous studies [Singh et al, 2013); Suarta et al, 2019) also revealed that instructors, students, and employers perceived leadership skills as the lowest important level. This is in line with research done by Wye and Lim (2009), there was a mismatch between employers' requirements and undergraduates' perception of the importance of leadership skills.…”

This paper is aimed to determine the importance of employability skills among experienced and novice trainers in the TVET trainer training program. This is due to, some employers reported TVET graduates' lack of employability skills and facing difficulties to fulfill the current employment demands and professional expectations needed by industries (e.g., people management skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, teamwork, professionalism, knowledge, and principles, problem-solving skills, and decision-making skills). A survey questionnaire was distributed during the TVET training program. A total of Experienced Trainers (n=34) and Novice trainers (n=137) were participating in this study. This study ranked the 25 abilities/items according to eight main constructs of employability skills based on a score ranging from (1) – to (5). The findings indicated that there is a different rank of employability skills between experienced and novice trainers. From these findings, it shows that communication skills, teamwork skills, self-discipline skills, and interpersonal skills are equally perceived to have a high importance level (top 4 highest) by both experienced trainers and novice trainers, while leadership skills, learning skills, and conceptual skills are equally perceived to have a lower importance level according to both experienced trainers and novice trainers. This calls for the planning of a specific curriculum that can be integrated into the TVET trainer training curriculum. It is necessary to transform the educational institutes into lifelong education centers to facilitate this employability skills formation among the graduates. In embedding the employability skills into the curriculum, teaching, learning, and assessment processes, steps must be taken to ensure that there is a constructive alignment between them. The desired employability skills should be made explicit through the learning outcomes of the modules that lead to high academic standards, leadership, industry-defined work readiness, and advanced and continuing education.

“…These discussions usually emphasize the human side and what humans can accomplish as opposed to what computers with automatic systems cannot, especially with Artificial Intelligence (AI). It could be possible to distinguish self-awareness, self-confidence, independence, emotional intelligence, flexibility and adaptability, stress tolerance, creativity and initiative, willingness to learn, reflectiveness, lifelong learning, and professional behavior as the most appreciate elements of human nature in relation to the aptitudes demanded by the labor market of the future 96 . Since we will constantly have to reinvent ourselves, we will need to learn new skills, update ourselves, and sometimes relearn or improve skills, especially social skills that improve the ability to deal with people and different groups, part of the characteristics known as soft-skills.…”

Understanding what Metaverse isMetaverse is a term etymologically easy to define, yet conceptually and semantically vague. "Meta" is a prefix coming from the Greek language meaning "beyond". The suffix "verse" comes from the masculine noun "universe", resulting in, literally, a "universe beyond". This neologism metaverse was coined by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction work Snow Crash 3 . In this cyberpunk universe of Snow Crash, the plot's protagonist, Hiro Protagonist, has an experience close to the one in the physical world, with a full capacity for interaction and interactivity, not only socially but also with objects.
