Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
The T-shaped curriculum in secondary technical VET represents a progressive educational framework designed to equip students with both specialized technical skills and a broad range of transferable competencies. This curriculum model emphasizes the development of deep expertise in specific technical fields, such as engineering or computer science, while simultaneously fostering essential skills in communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. By integrating real-world applications, experiential learning opportunities, and interdisciplinary projects, the T-shaped curriculum prepares students for immediate employment and long-term adaptability in a rapidly evolving job market. This approach not only enhances students’ technical proficiency but also cultivates their ability to navigate complex professional environments, thereby addressing the growing demand for versatile and resourceful graduates. The implementation of the T-shaped curriculum in secondary technical VET programs is shown to align educational outcomes with industry needs, decisively producing well-rounded professionals capable of contributing productively to diverse roles and industries. This article explores the significance of the T-shaped curriculum in shaping future-ready individuals and highlights its potential to transform TVET in response to the challenges of the modern workforce.
