Method & notes
IN BRIEF

This is a strong relevance indicator for Polytechnic and Community College graduates, but it should not be generalized to every TVET provider.

METHOD & LIMITATIONS

Field-match measure for working Polytechnic and Community College graduates only.

JPPKK defines job-field match as working graduates employed in their field of study or an equivalent qualification area, divided by all working graduate respondents in the tracer study.

  • This measure covers Polytechnic and Community College graduates, not Malaysia's entire TVET system.
  • The 2024 value is provisional and was reported through September 2024 in the 2025 KPI dictionary.
  • Field match does not by itself measure salary, job quality, permanence or career satisfaction.
  • Working graduates employed in their field of study or an equivalent qualification area, divided by all working graduate respondents in the tracer study.
