This study found that awareness and effectiveness of vocational courses have room for improvement. Students
view the courses as moderately aligned to industry needs and internships as helpful. Enhancing quality requires

updated content, better technology, and closer industry linkages.

Recommendations

It include boosting industry partnerships for real-world projects and technologies. Upgrading instructor skills

through training in interactive teaching can also be impactful. Institutional tie-ups with companies and skill
councils can help tailor programs and assessments to professional requirements.

Overall, achieving national vocational education goals needs unified public-private efforts addressing systemic
gaps. Localization informed by on-ground insights is key. Sectoral studies can guide context-specific solutions.

Ultimately, optimizing vocational skills requires academia-industry convergence across policy, institutional
and company stakeholders for dynamic workforce development.
