KUALA LUMPUR: All employers should offer a starting salary of RM3,000 to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The National TVET Council chairman said the proposed starting salary was appropriate as TVET graduates are skilled workers who have undergone skill courses.
"Skilled workers will improve the productivity of the industry and this increased productivity will reduce the costs to produce the end products or services in the long run.
Ahmad Zahid said the minimum wage of between RM1,500 and RM2,208 was insufficient for TVET graduates. – Bernama
