Generic skills are skills that are needed by students other than academics to become more successful and successful as practitioners in academics, jobs, and life. Most countries including Malaysia are having trouble producing more knowledgeable and skilled workers for the advancement of the 2nd century. The competitive world of work shows that a large number of unemployed graduates are from the social sciences with some notable weaknesses, such as lack of communication skills and creativity skills. In this regard, the study was conducted to produce a Training Curriculum Model for the Diploma in Food Processing Diploma in Malaysian Vocational College. This study aims to explore key components of the GenTy training curriculum model, identify the importance of the GenTy training curriculum model, develop the GenTy training curriculum model and evaluate the effectiveness of the GenTy training curriculum training model for Vocational College Food Processing Diploma students in Malaysia. This study is a development design study using the Design and Develpoment Research (DDR) approach. The study was conducted through three main phases consisting of Phase 1: Needs Analysis Phase using questionnaire method. Next in Phase II: Phase Design and Model Development using Literature Studies, Delphi Fuzzy Studies and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). Next in Phase III: Model Usability Assessment Phase using the Modified Nominal Group Technique. The study sample consisted of 200 students and 100 lecturers of Vocational College randomly selected from four Vocational Colleges in Malaysia with only the subject of Diploma in Food Processing.
