An Exploratory Study on Vocational Training for Foreign Workers under the Employment Permit System

This research scrutinized the prevailing status of vocational training proffered at governmental and municipal levels to foreign laborers admitted via the Employment Permit System, alongside an examination of their influx. The findings reveal that despite an expansion in quotas and occupational domains for those under the Employment Permit System due to escalating demand, the imparted training primarily revolves around rudimentary skill sets or foundational job-specific instruction, indicating a somewhat deficient endeavor towards systematic skill cultivation. In light of these observations, scholarly recommendations have been posited.
