Kolej Ketengah To Be Rebranded As Kolej TVET Ketengah
DUNGUN, Feb 7 (Bernama) -- Kolej Lembaga Kemajuan Terengganu Tengah (Ketengah) will be rebranded as Kolej Pendidikan dan Latihan Teknikal dan Vokasional (TVET) Ketengah to strengthen its role as a leading technical and vocational education provider in the state.
Chairman of Kolej Ketengah Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said the rebranding is in line with the aspiration of the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development to produce more highly skilled young talent.
“The move aims to ensure the college remains relevant to industry needs and current job market demands, while expanding access to skills-based education for students,” he told Bernama here today.
Ahmad Razif said several initiatives will be implemented to realise the establishment of Kolej TVET Ketengah, including the introduction of joint programmes and collaborations with local higher education institutions and private companies.
He said the college will work with Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) to optimise facility costs, with practical training to be conducted at partner institutions.
“The college will also focus on professional programmes such as automotive studies through a joint collaboration with Perodua, allowing students to undergo industrial training with the company before being absorbed into the workforce,” he said.
Ahmad Razif added that the college has also established collaborations with several other higher education institutions, including Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) and Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM).
In addition, he said the college has achieved another milestone with its Diploma in Islamic Tourism Management programme, introduced in 2022, receiving full accreditation from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) on Jan 18.
“The MQA accreditation provides confidence to students applying to pursue the programme at the college,” he said.
