Presently, every industry is calling for their workforce to develop new skill sets due to the dynamic of technological change. Every country must prepare its Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector to provide the required skills in the new industrial development. Generally, TVET is a form of education that includes general education, technological ideas, and industry-related practical skills. It is a crucial component that creates future quality workers. It serves as a link between industry and education. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that TVET has various advantages. Therefore, it is vitally important to assess TVET academics' awareness and perceptions to ascertain how to prepare strategically and effectively to manage work-based learning. In this study, a qualitative approach, such as an in-depth interview, is employed to discover the awareness, perception, and preparation of the students and alumni from B40 families in Perlis on TVET.
