Strategy to develop centre of accreditation of excellence (CARE) with industrial-based recognition

Abstract

This paper presents the strategy to develop Centre of Accreditation and Recognition of Excellence (CARE) with Industrial-based Recognition. The issue of unemployed graduates or graduates failing to obtain a job equivalent to their qualifications is a subject often addressed today by the youth. Employers argue that many graduates do not have the knowledge, skills and abilities relevant to the requirements of the industry, even though they have spent three to five years pursuing a diploma or bachelor’s degree. The aim of this study is to review the strategy in developing Centre of Accreditation and Recognition of Excellence (CARE) with Industrial-based Recognition. In this study, the strategic factors of previous case studies were identified. These strategic factors will then be verified by TVET and industry experts using the Delphi method. After the evaluation process, some of the strategic factors were ignored and new factors were included. In the end, the authorized body certification and skill sets are the new findings by expert group for the strategy in developing Centre of Accreditation and Recognition of Excellence (CARE) with Industrial-based Recognition.
