PUTRAJAYA: TVET graduates could earn up to RM4,000 in a premium salary agreement with several government-linked and private companies, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The companies that signed the MoA with the National Technical and Vocational Education and Training Council include Cypark Sdn Bhd, Penang Port Sdn Bhd, and Khazanah Nasional Bhd.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said MTVET had agreed to have the Malaysia Board of Technologists recognise Malaysian Skills Certificate holders at levels six to eight as equivalent to a first-class bachelor's degree.He noted that this marks a significant shift in the TVET education ecosystem.
