Abstract

This study explores the implementation of lifelong learning (LLL) courses within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Politeknik Kuala Terengganu institutions, focusing on the effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities for adult learners and working professionals as well as all folks of life. This study is based on lifelong learning course participations in Politeknik Kuala Terengganu in 2024. As global economies rapidly evolve, the demand for continuous skill development has positioned TVET as a key player in supporting lifelong learning. Using a document analysis approach, the research collected data from Politeknik Kuala Terengganu institutions through e-psh system. The study also highlights the importance of digital learning platforms and modular course design in making lifelong learning more inclusive. Despite existing barriers, TVET’s role in national upskilling and reskilling efforts is becoming increasingly critical. The paper concludes with policy and practice recommendations to strengthen LLL implementation, including enhanced government- industry-education partnerships, increased investment in infrastructure and staff development, and the promotion of a lifelong learning culture across all levels of society.
