Apprenticeship-based Entrepreneurship Education: Review of Malaysia Approach

Abstract

Apprenticeships are regaining popularity in Malaysia. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of apprenticeship-based education in Malaysia, to examine current government policies, and to investigate current issues concerning further apprenticeship development. Apprenticeships have traditionally been thought of as a path to a stable job. Although they have a bad reputation at times, apprenticeship programs frequently disregard various laws and the rights of apprentices. Higher-level skills are becoming more in demand as the knowledge economy grows. This is analogous to the idea that starting a business is difficult and necessitates a lot of experience in today's competitive environment. It has an impact on the popularity of apprenticeships as well as "academic" paths such as higher education. For a graduate to receive an apprenticeship degree, several success factors must be considered. Many publications keep tabs on the nature and value of apprenticeships. This paper examines how good new practices can be applied to entrepreneurial pedagogy options, as well as the evolution of apprenticeships.
